🔗 Share this article I can't bank on a three-year period at Man Utd - Ruben Amorim United's manager - seen receiving consolation post May's European final loss - says he is pleased by the co-owner's long-term backing but stressed that tomorrow is uncertain in soccer. Manchester United head coach the Portuguese coach feels it's significant the co-owner went public with his long-term thoughts - but says nothing is certain about the next day in soccer, much less three full years. During a discussion with a leading newspaper recently, the co-owner mentioned it may need Amorim a three-year period to create substantial change at the Theatre of Dreams. Coming in a period when Amorim's future has been facing examination in the wake of a lengthy stretch of poor performances, the comments helped quell certain present tensions. But, speaking before the 100th meeting with traditional foes Liverpool at the famous stadium, Amorim emphasized how the future is hard to predict in football. "It's certainly beneficial to listen to that but he tells me continuously, occasionally through communication post fixtures - but you know, I know and Jim knows, that football is not like that," he commented. "The crucial element is the next game. Despite having backers, you cannot dictate tomorrow in soccer." Chief executive Omar Berrada has acknowledged it has needed much more time for the manager to adapt to the English top flight following his move from Sporting Lisbon last November than anyone imagined. The Red Devils have secured 10 times in 34 top-flight fixtures with the Portuguese coach. They haven't managed consecutive league victories and have not ended a fixture schedule this season above ninth position. The worrying figures are testing faith in the manager among the United fanbase entering a sequence of matches the side has performed poorly in for the past two seasons. The manager stated he isn't experiencing the doubt inside the club at the club's Carrington training ground and is firm nothing can match the stress he puts on the team - and in certain ways, he would choose Ratcliffe not to be trying to establish serenity because he is concerned about the influence it may create on the players. "It's not just something people discuss, I experience it daily," he said. "It's certainly beneficial to receive it because it benefits our followers to comprehend the management know it is going to take a while. "Yet concurrently, I'm not fond of it because it generates a sense that we have time to resolve issues. I don't want that feeling in our club. "The stress I place on the squad or upon myself is significantly greater [versus outside influences]. In soccer, specifically at large organizations, you need to prove your value each weekend."
