Ruben Amorim was the first boss of Manchester United who was appointed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe after his arrival in Old Trafford and the Portuguese coach has now revealed how often they talk
Ruben Amorim has opened his “No Bull ****” relationship with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United. Amorim revealed that he regularly talks and discuss messages Ratcliffe and the couple can get along because they share the same Straight-Salking approach.
“We speak on the phone, he sends me messages, he sends me gifs,” Amorim said. “You call it gifs? Like a joke. So we have this kind of relationship.
“I think it is very easy to deal with Jim. Easy in the sense that if you know your things, if you know how to explain a decision, you can be good with him.
“If you try to use some bull **** in big words with him, he will hit you. So it is very easy for me. I will say what I have to say, of course, a lot of respect, like everyone.
“I know he is the owner of the club, I know my place. But if I have to say something, I will of course say it, without bull ****. I can say that – without bull ****. I am not in the neighborhood, I am really direct and I think it is something that he likes a lot.”
Amorim's claim about Ratcliffe comes in the midst of an elevated claim from the Portuguese coach. He has suggested that with the support of the Ineos Supremo, as well as other Red Devils Chiefs, he can restore the club at the top of the English game.
He said: “I have no doubt because there are some things that you cannot buy and that this club has. The family tree, the history, the fans. We have that.
“I think that's clear. Then the money. We have money. We have money without the Champions League. So we have money and we have more money in the future. We do everything.

'You talk to Omar [Berrada, chief executive] And all these guys, they make all the strategy to have more money in the future. So that will not be a problem.
“Then I think it is clearly the culture. If we have a different culture, with all that, with all the pedigree, the money, all these things, we can return to our place – that is clear.”
Amorim will continue his preparations for the new season this weekend as United opposite Everton in the US. They are then confronted with a final pre-season match against Fiorentina prior to their season opener against Arsenal.
