Ruben Amorim says the onus is on him and Manchester United's "underperforming" players to change critical co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's mind, starting with keeping their season alive by sealing Europa League progress.

The Red Devils languish 14th in the Premier League and are out of both domestic cup competitions, meaning they have to overcome Real Sociedad in Thursday's last-16 second leg to stand any chance of winning silverware this term.
