Ruben Amorim believes Sir Jim Ratcliffe's public backing of him has "helped" Manchester United. Amorim has won three Premier League matches on the spin. United won against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton and have moved up to sixth position in the table. Following the Sunderland win, Ratcliffe told The Business podcast: "He has not had the best of seasons. Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years. That's where I would be." Asked if the Glazers have told him to sack his head coach, Ratcliffe replied: “It’s not going to happen.” Ratcliffe added "the press sometimes don't understand" and "want overnight success". The British billionaire also warned that he would not run the club by making knee-jerk reactions. Ratcliffe's interview was published during the October international break, and Amorim returned to Premier League action by claiming the biggest win of his tenure against Liverpool. Amorim has enjoyed an October to remember. "One month, everything changed," he told the One on One podcast . "Of course, that interview from the owner helped to calm down the things, but again, I have zero fear of losing any job. That will not change my life in the place I am. "It's not going to change that. My biggest fear is not winning games. That is the feeling of suffering. That is the only thing I'm focused on, not what people think. Of course, I want people to love my football and say I'm the best manager in the world, but that is not going to happen no matter what happens. I just want to win games. If I win games, I will be happy." Amorim was asked about the status of his rebuild and responded: "It's hard to say. I don't know how long it's going to take. What I can say is I'm going to do what is best for the club. "That is going to be always my option. I will not do nothing to save myself and not think about what is best for the club. I think I proved a little bit of that during my one year. "That is something I can promise to any fan of Manchester United . The most important thing is to do everything that is going to help Manchester United to return to the trophies. And when I say trophies, it's winning the Premier League and Champions League . I will try be one piece that helps get to that place. "I don't want to leave this club without winning. That is so massive for me. If I'm going to be here for the final stage, I don't know. That is not my concern, but I'm going to do everything to help the club return to that place." Amorim continued: "I had a lot of support. You can start with the board and the players. It's a fight every day in our club. You want to change things and there's a lot to do, but I've grown up a lot. "I enjoy to be here. There's not another club like this, which gives you the strength to fight for the opportunity, but I live day by day and I know this changed so fast, so I need to fight every day to maintain my job. "That is a good thing because that is life. If life is always good or always bad, that is not life. Life is like this and I really enjoy my life here."
