Ruben Amorim doesn’t think he is guaranteed three years to revitalise Manchester United.
The Portuguese coach was given a vote of confidence by the club’s co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe during the international break, with the INEOS billionaire suggesting that he needs three years to prove himself at Old Trafford, but knows that he needs results in the short-term if he is to remain in the dugout.
Amorim said of Ratcliffe’s support: “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. The most important thing is the next game. You cannot control even with owners the next day in football.
“I know that [Ratcliffe backs him] but it is really good to hear that. But also because of the noise but he and Omar (Berrada, chief executive) and Jason (Wilcox, director of football) tell me that all the time.”
Amorim explained that he puts a lot of pressure on himself as he is eager to bring success back to United.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s (19.10.25) Premier League clash with rivals Liverpool, the Red Devils manager said: “Sometimes the pressure I put on the team and on myself is so much bigger than them.
“I know it is going to take a while but I don’t want to think like that. But again, it is really good to hear that. I think it helps our fans to understand that the leadership understand it is going to take a while.
“But at the same moment I don’t like that because it will give a feeling that we have time to work things out. I don’t want that feeling here in our club. The most important thing is the next game. It is good to feel the support but we need to feel in football and especially in big games that every week we are ready to win games.”
