🔗 Share this article I cannot rely on three years at Man Utd - Amorim United's manager - pictured getting support post May's European final loss - notes he is satisfied by the investor's long-term backing but emphasized that what lies ahead is unknown in soccer. Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim believes it's crucial the co-owner openly discussed his extended perspective - but notes nothing is assured about the future in the sport, never mind three seasons. During a discussion with The Times last week, Ratcliffe stated it might require Amorim three seasons to produce meaningful results at the Theatre of Dreams. Arriving during a time when the coach's tenure has been facing examination in the wake of a lengthy stretch of poor performances, the statements assisted in calming a portion of the current stress. However, talking ahead of the 100th meeting with historic adversaries the Reds at Anfield, Amorim underscored that tomorrow is difficult to forecast in the beautiful game. "It is really good to hear it but he communicates to me constantly, sometimes with a message post fixtures - but recognize, I know and Jim knows, that football is not like that," he said. "The most important thing is the following fixture. Regardless of investors, you cannot dictate the next day in football." Top executive Berrada has conceded it has required far longer for the head coach to adjust to the English top flight after his transfer from his former club last November than anyone imagined. The Red Devils have secured 10 victories in 34 Premier League matches under the 40-year-old. They still haven't achieved two league games in a row and haven't finished a fixture schedule in the current term better than ninth place. The dire statistics are testing faith in the manager among the Old Trafford faithful heading into a stretch of fixtures their club has been awful in for the last couple of years. United's boss commented he does not feel the instability internally at the club's Carrington training ground and is insistent nothing can match the pressure he puts on the team - and to some extent, he would prefer the co-owner not to be trying to bring a sense of calm because he is concerned about the influence it may create on the squad. "It isn't merely something people discuss, I experience it each day," he remarked. "It's really good to hear it because it helps our fans to comprehend the leadership know it is going to take a period. "Yet concurrently, I dislike it because it creates an impression that we possess time to solve problems. I don't want that impression in our club. "The expectation I place on the team or on myself is considerably larger [versus outside influences]. In soccer, particularly at major teams, you need to prove yourself every weekend."
