Speaking to the media, Amorim said: "I see a clear path, I see that from the board also. They are doing difficult changes, they are not popular, but they are doing them because they have a vision. That is clear.
"But in the future we need to show some results – because you can make a lot of changes and if we don't have results, people won't feel confidence and happy. The good thing is we have a clear path, now it's hard but we are doing things to achieve success in the future."
WHAT NEXT FOR AMORIM?
The Portuguese has not helped Manchester United turn around their form as of yet, as such, Amorim has claimed that he does not think he has improved as a coach.
He said: "Better? It's hard to say. I'm not winning games so sometimes I don't feel like I'm a better coach! I've lived here for three months, I've lived through certain things where I'm a more complete manager. Because sometimes you need to lose, to be in a poor situation, to grow. I felt that in these three months.
"I'm not going to die if I lose three games in a row. That's something I've learned here. I can cope to maintain the energy. I'm learning a lot about myself but I prefer to win games. That is clear. But we are surviving and doing everything. Today it's really hard but this is going to help us in the future."
