Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Liverpoolat Anfield (kick-off 16:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Amorim said it is "really good" to have the backing of co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently told media the United manager needs three years to prove he is a "great" coach.
He insisted he knows he has the support of the club's hierarchy : "First of all, I can feel it. It is not just a thing that people say - I feel it every day. I know it's going to take a while, but it is really good to hear that."
Amorim said that these comments from the co-owner will help the club's fans "understand that the leadership know it is going to take a while".
However, he also said he does not "want that feeling in our club that we have time" to solve their problems.
In terms of injuries, Amorim confirmed centre-back Lisandro Martinez will miss the trip to Anfield while fellow defender Noussair Mazraoui is also a doubt.
The rest of the players who were with their national teams during the break "are ready".
The manager said he felt upset after his side came back from behind to hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw during their last trip to Anfield back in January, despite that result ending a three-game losing run: "I know it is special for our club. I know they are competing for a number of titles. It's one more game that we need to win."
On whether his side put on better performances when facing bigger clubs: "Maybe the expectations when you have to win and the responsibility of winning, it is so much harder. Maybe when Manchester United are not expected to win, it is easier for the players to perform but we need to change that."
Amorim also brushed aside comparisons between Senne Lammens and a United legend, saying the new goalkeeper "is not Schmeichel yet" but hinted he could start against Liverpool.
