Ruben Amorim is refusing to take anything for granted as he approaches a match against Everton at Old Trafford on Monday, which marks the first anniversary of his first game as Manchester United manager.
Amorim’s reign as United manager started with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich and since then the Portuguese boss has experienced many lows at the English football giants.
But recent results are encouraging: United go into this weekend’s round of fixtures seventh in the Premier League and are unbeaten in their last five games.
When it was pointed out to Amorim that United will face only three top 10 teams in their next 10 matches, he told reporters: «It doesn’t matter. In our league it doesn’t matter.»
«The table doesn’t matter because everything is so tight. It’s not relevant.»

«If you know the history of our team, we never know where the difficult games are. That is completely irrelevant in the Premier League.»
A lot has changed at United since last November’s trip to Ipswich, where Marcus Rashford scored early in the 1-1 draw.
The attacker is one of five starters from that match who are no longer members of the United squad.
“The first thought was I thought the environment is completely different in the Premier League and I was excited about that,” Amorim said.
«I knew straight away that we would struggle with some things. But it was the feeling of: yes, this is the best league in the world. It may be the best club in the world, but at the same time it is a big job and it will take a lot of work.»
Nevertheless, an optimistic Amorim added: «I think we are showing that (improvement), but the most important thing is that it doesn’t matter what we did in the last matches. We must not forget that we suffered a lot at that point last year.
“We have to take that into account and play every match as if it were the last or the first.
“If you ask me, yes, I expect (now) a team with more control and with more dominance, that plays better football and most importantly that we are more competitive in every way.”
