Ruben Amorim might need three years to prove himself at Manchester United, according to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

But the Portuguese coach might be fortunate to last another three weeks, if results continue to be the wrong ones. Between now and November 8, United face a run of games which could define Amorim's future.

Starting with a trip to Anfield this weekend. A place United haven't won at since 2016. Since then, the UK has had six different Prime Ministers and United have had seven different managers.

And the current one can ill-afford to return from Liverpool with another crushing loss to add to the long list of them since he took charge.

Like it or not United supporters, but Liverpool are the club United have always measured themselves against. Liverpool might be United's biggest and most bitter rivals, but they also set the standards United look to match or better, when it comes to winning the biggest trophies.
