Ruben Amorim revealed that although it was helpful to receive public support from Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, he does not believe he is guaranteed any amount of time at the club.

In an interview with The Times last week, Ratcliffe stated that it could take Amorim three years to make an impact at the club, comparing it to Mikel Arteta’s journey with Arsenal.

The Red Devils are currently 10th in the Premier League after seven games, having won just three of those matches.

United also face a tough test against Liverpool on Sunday. They are winless in their last nine Premier League games at Anfield since a 1-0 win in January 2016 under Louis van Gaal (D5 L4).

Liverpool could become just the second side to avoid defeat in 10+ successive Premier League home games against the Red Devils, after Chelsea.

Despite receiving constant support from Ratcliffe, Amorim does not want his players or staff to believe they have three years to make a difference.

“It is really good to hear it but he tells me all the time, sometimes with a message after games – but you know, I know and Jim knows, that football is not like that,” said Amorim.

“The most important thing is the next game. Even with owners, you cannot control the next day in football.”

“It’s not just a thing that people talk about, I feel it every day. It’s really good to hear it because it helps our fans to understand the leadership know it is going to take a while.

“But at the same moment, I don’t like it because it gives a feeling that we have time to work things out. I don’t want that feeling in our club.

“The pressure I put on the team or on myself is so much bigger [than that from outside]. In football, especially in big clubs, you need to prove yourself every weekend.”
