United co-owner Ratcliffe said some players at Old Trafford are “not good enough” and some are “overpaid”.

Casemiro, Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana were namechecked by Ratcliffe as players his regime had "inherited".

But Amorim says he has had similar “blunt and honest” conversations with Ratcliffe and says the focus at United is to change his mind.

Speaking on Wednesday, Amorim said: "Everyone is underperforming. Myself and the players. We can always change that, I include myself in that part of underperforming.

“You are talking about players like Casemiro that have won everything. We know these players can play so much better, that is the focus. He was honest on that. The focus is to change his mind.

“A lot of people will say you are not good enough for the club, but my feeling is you can change that with results. In training I feel they want this really bad.”

On his relationship with Ratcliffe , Amorim said: "It has been really good since day one. We are honest with each other. We have simple, clear and honest conversations.

“To give me support publicly is really good for a coach. Since day one I have felt the support of everybody.”

United this week announce plans to build a new 100,000-capacity stadium next to Old Trafford.

Amorim says his focus is “winning things at Old Trafford”.

"It is an amazing stadium,” he said. “It is in the future, five years from now, so we have to focus on the present. I am focused on winning things at Old Trafford."
