Manchester United head coach Amorim believes it's crucial the investor publicly shared his future vision - but states nothing is guaranteed about the next day in soccer, let alone three years.

In an interview with a leading newspaper recently, Sir Jim stated it might require the head coach three seasons to create substantial change at United's home ground.

Coming in a period when the coach's tenure has been under scrutiny in the wake of a lengthy stretch of poor performances, the statements assisted in calming certain present tensions.

However, talking ahead of the 100th meeting with old rivals Liverpool at Anfield, the manager underscored that what comes next is challenging to anticipate in soccer.

"It's certainly beneficial to receive that message but he communicates to me continuously, occasionally through communication after games - but you know, I know and the co-owner recognizes, that soccer doesn't work that way," he commented.

"The crucial element is the upcoming match. Even with owners, you cannot dictate the future in the sport."

CEO Berrada has conceded it has required significantly extended periods for Amorim to adapt to the top division following his move from his former club last November than anyone imagined.

Manchester United have achieved 10 successes in 34 league games under the 40-year-old. They are yet to win consecutive league victories and haven't finished a fixture schedule this season higher than ninth.

The worrying figures are stretching belief in the head coach among the United fanbase entering a sequence of matches the side has performed poorly in for the past two seasons.

United's boss commented he doesn't sense the doubt inside the club at the club's Carrington training ground and is firm nothing compares to the stress he places on the team - and in some senses, he would choose Sir Jim not to be trying to bring a sense of calm because he worries the effect it might produce on the squad.

"It's not just something people discuss, I sense it every day," he said. "It's truly positive to hear it because it assists our supporters to understand the leadership realize it needs some time.

"But at the same moment, I'm not fond of it because it gives a feeling that we possess time to resolve issues. I don't want that sense in our club.

"The pressure I put on the players or to myself is considerably larger [compared to external sources]. In football, especially in big clubs, you have to show your value every matchday."
