Ratcliffe’s Wiggly Words and Amorim’s Jitters…

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s latest sit-down with Gary Neville seems to have given poor Ruben Amorim a few more grey hairs. According to body language guru Judi James, Manchester United’s co-owner isn’t overflowing with confidence about Amorim’s reign. Jim’s poker face struggled during the chat, shading a bleak picture where he worried the club could’ve been a festive flop without his Scrooge-like savings.

Ratcliffe made it pretty clear he’s itching for some squad housecleaning, but Judi honed in on his twitchiness whilst chatting about Amorim. His hand gestures were more mixed than a cocktail during happy hour, flipping between optimism and, well, not-that-convincing. It seems he’s not quite sure if hiring Amorim was his genius idea or just an accidental click of the ‘hire’ button. Meanwhile, Amorim has had a rocky runway, barely pulling United up to 14th in the league.

But, fear not, as Ratcliffe reassures us (and himself, apparently) that Ruben is fantastic! With his 28.94% stake looking awkward as he dodged Glazer-centric questions, Ratcliffe’s mannerisms got as jumpy as a caffeine-loaded rabbit. Still, Judi says his love for the club is as true as a teenager’s love for pizza, passionate even when it’s complicated.
