🚨Sir Jim Ratcliffe:

"I remember the calls for Alex Ferguson's sacking during his first two years. Look at Arteta at Arsenal. He went through tough times in his first two years. We look at the results, but we need to be patient and take a long-term view."

"We're not seeing all the benefits of the restructuring that we've done in this set of (financial) results (United last month reported record revenues of £666.5million for last season but a loss of £33million for the financial year) and we were not in the Champions League.

"The biggest correlation, like it or not, between results and any external factor - is profitability. The more cash you have got, the better squad you can build.

"So a lot of what we have done in the first year is spend an awful lot of time putting the club on a sustainable, healthy footing.

"This group of players are in such a bad rut that you have no confidence in them that they're going to get out of it. It's almost predictable that they'll go to Anfield and get beat." [@michael_pavitt] #mufc

🗣️ Paul Scholes: "Ruben Amorim needs to try and get something from Liverpool at Anfield. I'd be thinking about drawing the game and finding a way somehow to stop them from scoring."

"The press, sometimes I don't understand. They want overnight success. They think it's a light switch. You know, you flick a switch and it's all going to be roses tomorrow. "You can't run a club like Manchester United on knee-jerk reactions to some journalist who goes off on one every week."
