‘Offering me a new contract!’ – Ruben Amorim sees funny side of showdown talks with Man Utd chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe

Ruben Amorim has laughed off hypothesis surrounding a gathering with Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, joking that he was supplied a brand new contract.

However Amorim insists the talks have been ‘regular’ and a part of a long-term venture.
