'Good he hasn't lost his sense of humour'

You cannot accuse Ruben Amorim of not being able to laugh at himself.

The Manchester United head coach is under huge pressure after his side managed just one win from their opening four league games and got knocked out of the EFL Cup by League Two Grimsby.

There has even been suggestions he could be sacked during the October international break unless results turn swiftly.

Minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe flew into United's Carrington training ground on Thursday. The visit was pre-planned but there was a 'crisis' meeting with Amorim.

I asked the former Sporting coach what the pair spoke about.

"A new contract," Amorim smiled.

He was joking. It is good the 40-year-old has not lost his sense of humour.
