Ruben Amorim takes aim at Man Utd players: You cannot complain about Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s jibes

Sir Jim Ratcliffe claimed some Manchester United players were 'not good enough' and some were 'overpaid' in stinging criticism of Amorim 's squad.

The United co-owner also made a rather withering reference to a host of players Ineos had inherited’ at Old Trafford , including midfielder Casemiro , striker Rasmus Hojlund , goalkeeper Andre Onana and wingers Antony and Jadon Sancho , both of whom are out on loan.

Ratcliffe and United chief executive Omar Berrada both threw their full support behind Amorimi this week .

Old Trafford would take 12 months to knock down once Manchester United are ready to move into their proposed new 2 billion stadium.

United are hoping to be in a position to move in a new 100,000 -capacity stadium that Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to be Manchester ’s answer to the Eiffel Tower on a reimagined 260-acre site in time for the start of the 2030/31 season .

Ruben Amorim's squad would continue to play at Old Trafford during the time it takes to develop the new ground, much of which would be constructed off site.

Manchester United’s Carrington training ground is due to open and be fully operational from July 31 .

The site is currently undergoing a significant transformation and is expected to have been completed by the end of that month .

The club will be in a position to use the facility once they return from their pre-season tour of the US .
