Ruben Amorim - here being consoled by the co-owner after May's Europa League final defeat - says he is pleased by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's long-term backing but stressed that the future is unpredictable in football.
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim thinks it is important Sir Jim Ratcliffe went public with his long-term thoughts - but says nothing is certain about tomorrow in football, let alone three years.
In an interview with The Times last week, Ratcliffe said it could take Amorim three years to make a significant impact at Old Trafford.
Coming in a period when Amorim's future has been under scrutiny following an extended sequence of disappointing results, the comments helped quell some of the immediate pressure.
But, speaking before the 100th meeting with old rivals Liverpool at Anfield, the United boss stressed that the future is hard to predict in football.
