‘We will not take that long,’ says Amorim in response

Amorim criticises sense of ‘entitlement’ at United

Sir Alex Ferguson has stated it could take Manchester United another “10 or 11 years” to win the title, prompting Ruben Amorim to ­publicly ­disagree with the club’s most ­successful manager.

Ferguson won 13 of United’s 20 league titles, the last in 2013, and was asked when a 21st may be added to the trophy cabinet.

“It could be 10 years, could be 11,” Ferguson told Press Box PR. “I remember looking back on my own time, starting off [in November 1986] when Liverpool were the bee’s knees. They were a ­fantastic club, winning the European Cup four times, but then it took them 31 ­[actually 30] years to win the league again [after 1990]. We are now in the same situation [as Liverpool in the 1990s].”
