I can't bank on three full seasons at Man Utd - the United boss

The Red Devils' boss the Portuguese coach believes it's crucial the co-owner publicly shared his future vision - but states nothing is guaranteed about tomorrow in football, never mind three seasons.
In an interview with a major publication recently, the co-owner mentioned it may need Amorim three years to produce meaningful results at the Theatre of Dreams.
Arriving during a time when the manager's position has been facing examination after a prolonged run of disappointing results, the words contributed to reducing certain present tensions.
However, talking ahead of the hundredth encounter with historic adversaries the Reds at their home ground, the manager stressed that what comes next is challenging to anticipate in soccer.
"It's certainly beneficial to hear it but he communicates to me all the time, sometimes with a message following matches - but recognize, I'm aware and Jim knows, that the sport isn't that predictable," he commented.
"The crucial element is the upcoming match. Even with owners, you cannot control the next day in football."
CEO Omar Berrada has admitted it has taken significantly extended periods for the head coach to acclimate to the Premier League subsequent to his appointment from Sporting during the winter than any person expected.
Manchester United have achieved 10 times in 34 league games with the Portuguese coach. They are yet to win consecutive league victories and didn't complete a fixture schedule during this campaign better than ninth place.
The worrying figures are testing faith 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.
The manager stated he does not feel the uncertainty within the organization at their training facility and is adamant nothing equals the stress he applies to the squad - and to some extent, he would rather the co-owner to refrain from seeking to bring a sense of calm because he fears the effect it might produce on the squad.
"It's not only a thing that people talk about, I feel it daily," he stated. "It's really good to receive it because it benefits our followers to comprehend the administration realize it needs a while.
"However simultaneously, I'm not fond of it because it creates an impression that we possess time to solve problems. I don't wish for that sense in our team.
"The pressure I apply to the players or on myself is considerably larger [compared to external sources]. In soccer, particularly at major teams, you need to prove yourself every weekend."
