José Mourinho has offered his support to the Manchester United Chief, Ruben Amorim, and opened his relationship with Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Amorim, 40, has suffered a difficult start in life in Old Trafford, losing eight of his first 16 Premier League games since he arrived from Sporting Lisbon in November.
This has included the defeats of United that they suffer in five of their last six games at the House of the Premier League to leave the club languishing in the 14th place in the highest category and 14 points outside the first four.
Amorim has married his preferred 3-4-3 system in Old Trafford, but has not yet selected its impact on United, and the Red Devils season is based on the Europa League after they detached themselves from the Copa FA to Fulham last weekend.
But, despite his struggles, the legendary Portuguese coach Mourinho, who achieved United from 2016 to 2018, winning the Carabao Cup, the Europa League and the community shield in the process, offered his support for Amorim.
“He is a good child,” said the 62 -year -old man Sky Sports. 'Always very respectful with me. We had a good relationship for a few years. He knows that I wish him the best.

Mourinho has previously acted as a mentor of Amorim and labeled it as a 'good child'
Mourinho has acted as a mentor of Amorim over the years, with the current United Head visiting the club for a week's internship when the 62 -year -old man was a manager in 2018.
Given his tender age, the early impact as a young coach in Europe and background in Portugal, as expected, has compared between the two coaches.
Meanwhile, Mourinho also revealed that he has a 'good relationship' with the unpopular owned by a United, Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe has been the subject of great scrutiny since its arrival in February 2024, and several cost reduction measures have been implemented in the club.
Mail Sport revealed exclusively last month how Ratcliffe is ready to represent up to 200 redundant employees, which occurs after the club selected around 250 employees last year, and several other money savings actions have occurred.
This included canceling the free coach trip for the staff to the final of the FA Cup last year, reducing ambassador wages and increasing ticket prices, while the British also decided to put at the end of the role of £ 2 million a year of Sir Alex Alex Ferguson with the club.
However, Mourinho, who admitted that he had not been closely following Ratcliffe's actions in the club, reflected on his meetings with the British billionaire.
“To be honest, I don't know much about what is happening,” Mourinho added on the cuts.

United is having a shocking season and apparently worsened since the arrival of Amorim
'I know Sir Jim Ratcliffe. I do not say that we are great friends, but we have a good relationship.
I know him well. He invited me home a couple of times. I see it as a good person and a great businessman.
“Of course, I feel for some of the people I know (losing their jobs), but I hope it goes in the right direction.”
On the other hand, Amorim had previously opened his relationship with Mourinho when he arrived at Old Trafford in November, explaining how the former United Chief had given him advice.
'He sent me a message and told me that this is a charming club, a great club, with lovely people, and that is correct. It is still, 'Amorim explained.
'But many things change and we are in a different building now, we are building a new one, and I am a different guy.
'I was learning at that time and I hope now to teach something here too.
“But the club is still great and is still the best club in England, and we want to win again, that's it.”
