The Red Devils' boss Amorim believes it's crucial the investor publicly shared his future vision - but says nothing is certain about tomorrow in football, never mind three seasons.

Through a conversation with a leading newspaper last week, Sir Jim mentioned it may need the head coach three seasons to make a significant impact at Old Trafford.

Coming in a period when the coach's tenure has been facing examination following an extended sequence of disappointing results, the statements assisted in calming certain present tensions.

But, speaking before the 100th meeting with traditional foes Liverpool at their home ground, the manager emphasized how tomorrow is difficult to forecast in the beautiful game.

"It's certainly beneficial to hear it but he informs me all the time, sometimes with a message post fixtures - but recognize, I know and the co-owner recognizes, that football is not like that," he said.

"The vital factor is the upcoming match. Despite having backers, you cannot dictate the next day in football."

Chief executive Berrada has conceded it has required much more time for Amorim to acclimate to the top division following his move from Sporting Lisbon in November than anybody anticipated.

The Red Devils have secured 10 victories in 34 top-flight fixtures under the 40-year-old. They are yet to win back-to-back league wins and didn't complete a fixture schedule in the current term above ninth position.

The worrying figures are stretching belief in Amorim among the Red Devils supporters entering a sequence of matches the side has performed poorly in for the past two seasons.

Amorim said he doesn't sense the doubt within the organization at the team's practice complex and is firm nothing compares to the stress he applies to his players - and to some extent, he would choose Sir Jim not to be trying to establish serenity because he worries the effect it might produce on the players.

"It isn't merely a thing that people talk about, I experience it each day," he said. "It's really good to hear it because it assists our supporters to grasp the management know it is going to take a while.

"However simultaneously, I don't like it because it generates a sense that we have time to work things out. I don't desire that impression in our club.

"The expectation I place on the players or on myself is considerably larger [than that from outside]. In soccer, particularly at major teams, you need to prove your worth every weekend."
