MANCHESTER (Reuters) - Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim accepted club co-owner Jim Ratcliffe's criticism of his squad but said on Wednesday that they are focused on changing his mind after the billionaire said some players were either not good enough or overpaid.

Although Ratcliffe gave Amorim a glowing assessment by describing the Portuguese as an "outstanding young manager" who would be at the club for a long time, he was critical of many players -- especially those who came in with big price tags.
