Manchester United head coach the Portuguese coach feels it's significant the investor publicly shared his future vision - but notes nothing is assured about the future in the sport, never mind three seasons.

During a discussion with a leading newspaper in recent days, Sir Jim said it could take the manager three seasons to create substantial change at the Theatre of Dreams.

Arriving during a time when Amorim's future has been under scrutiny after a prolonged run of disappointing results, the comments helped quell some of the immediate pressure.

Yet, discussing prior to the hundredth encounter with traditional foes Liverpool at the famous stadium, Amorim underscored that tomorrow is difficult to forecast in football.

"It is really good to receive that message but he informs me continuously, sometimes with a message after games - but you know, I realize and Ratcliffe understands, that soccer doesn't work that way," he said.

"The most important thing is the following fixture. Even with owners, you cannot manage tomorrow in soccer."

Chief executive the club executive has acknowledged it has needed significantly extended periods for Amorim to acclimate to the Premier League subsequent to his appointment from Sporting Lisbon last November than anybody anticipated.

The Red Devils have secured 10 victories in 34 Premier League matches during Amorim's tenure. They haven't managed two league games in a row and have not ended a round of league games in the current term higher than ninth.

The dire statistics are challenging confidence in Amorim among the Red Devils supporters heading into a sequence of matches their club has been awful in for the last couple of years.

United's boss commented he isn't experiencing the uncertainty within the organization at the team's practice complex and is insistent nothing compares to the pressure he applies to the squad - and in certain ways, he would rather Sir Jim not to be trying to establish serenity because he worries the effect it might produce on the squad.

"It's not just an item of conversation, I feel it every day," he stated. "It's certainly beneficial to listen to it because it assists our supporters to grasp the leadership understand it will require a while.

"However simultaneously, I dislike it because it creates an impression that we have time to solve problems. I don't want that feeling in our organization.

"The expectation I apply to the players or on myself is significantly greater [compared to external sources]. In football, particularly at major teams, you must demonstrate your value each weekend."
