Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has admitted that he does not expect to receive the same patience and support that Mikel Arteta enjoyed at Arsenal.

The Portuguese coach, who took over from Erik ten Hag mid-season, is already under immense pressure as the Red Devils continue to struggle in the Premier League.

Amorim was appointed with hopes of steadying the Red Devils and bringing back their glory days, but instead, the team has regressed significantly.

Man United was four points away from the top four. However, under Amorim's leadership, the Red Devils have slipped to 14th place, 14 points behind Manchester City, who currently sit in fourth, Premier League reports.

Ahead of Manchester United’s crucial match against Arsenal, Amorim was asked in his pre-match press conference if he believed he would be given the same amount of time Arteta received at Arsenal.

The Man United coach believes the Gunners are much more patient than their Old Trafford counterparts, Sky Sports reports.

“I will not have the time that Arteta had. I feel that. It’s a different club. So we just need to survive the players on Sunday and me during these games. I think it's a different club.”

Amorim’s words reflect the high-pressure environment at Manchester United, where success is expected immediately.

Unlike Arsenal, where Arteta was given room to grow and develop his project, Man United has a history of impatience with managers, as seen in their frequent managerial changes since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

When Arteta took over at Arsenal, the Gunners were struggling, finishing eighth in his first two seasons.

Despite calls for the Spaniard’s dismissal, the Arsenal board backed him through difficult periods.

Over time, Arteta’s philosophy took shape, leading the Gunners to a title challenge in the 2022/23 season and consecutive second-place finishes.

The patience shown to Arteta has paid off, as Arsenal is now considered one of the strongest teams in the league.

This contrasts sharply with Manchester United, where the demand for immediate success has seen a revolving door of managers, each struggling to implement long-term visions.

With Manchester United sitting in a precarious position, the upcoming fixture against Arsenal will be a true test of his ability to turn things around.

Amorim’s comments suggest he is well aware of the challenges ahead.

While Arteta had the luxury of time, Amorim knows his tenure could be short-lived if results do not improve quickly.

The Portuguese manager, who previously led the Red Devils to multiple trophies, has reignited discussions about his future in football with his remarks on the club’s new leadership.
