🔗 Share this article I cannot rely on three years at Man Utd - Amorim Ruben Amorim - pictured getting support post May's European final loss - states he is happy by the co-owner's long-term backing but stressed that what lies ahead is unknown in football. United's manager Amorim thinks it is important the co-owner publicly shared his extended perspective - but states nothing is guaranteed about tomorrow in football, never mind three seasons. Through a conversation with a major publication in recent days, Sir Jim mentioned it may need the manager three years to create substantial change at United's home ground. Arriving during a time when Amorim's future has been receiving close inspection after a prolonged run of unsatisfactory outcomes, the statements assisted in calming some of the immediate pressure. But, speaking before the hundredth encounter with historic adversaries the Reds at their home ground, the manager underscored that tomorrow is difficult to forecast in football. "It's truly positive to receive that message but he tells me all the time, periodically with words after games - but understand, I'm aware and Ratcliffe understands, that football is not like that," he said. "The most important thing is the following fixture. Regardless of investors, you cannot dictate the future in the sport." Chief executive Omar Berrada has conceded it has required far longer for the manager to adapt to the Premier League following his move from his former club last November than anyone imagined. United have won 10 times in 34 Premier League matches under the 40-year-old. They still haven't achieved back-to-back league wins and didn't complete a matchday this season above ninth position. The concerning numbers are testing faith in Amorim among the Old Trafford faithful entering a run of games their club has been awful in for the previous two campaigns. Amorim said he does not feel the instability within the organization at their training facility and is adamant nothing can match the pressure he applies to the squad - and in certain ways, he would rather Sir Jim to refrain from seeking to establish serenity because he worries the effect it might produce on the players. "It's not only a thing that people talk about, I sense it each day," he remarked. "It's truly positive to listen to it because it benefits our followers to understand the leadership understand it will require some time. "However simultaneously, I'm not fond of it because it generates a sense that we have time to work things out. I don't want that sense in our organization. "The pressure I place on the team or to myself is considerably larger [versus outside influences]. In the sport, specifically at large organizations, you have to show yourself every weekend."
