Jose Mourinho reveals he has received a special invite from Man United chief and 'great businessman' Sir Jim Ratcliffe and backs 'good kid' Ruben Amorim amid poor start at Old Trafford

Jose Mourinho has offered his support to Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim and opened up on his relationship with Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Amorim, 40, has endured a difficult start to life at Old Trafford, losing eight of his first 16 Premier League games since arriving from Sporting Lisbon in November.

This has included United suffering defeats in five of their past six Premier League home matches to leave the club languishing in 14th place in the top flight and 14 points off the top four.

Amorim has been wedded to his preferred 3-4-3 system at Old Trafford, but he is yet to positively stamp his impact on United - and the Red Devils' season rests on the Europa League after they crashed out of the FA Cup to Fulham last weekend.
