Ruben Amorim insists he never felt under pressure from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, claiming the Manchester United minority owner always believed his project would come good.
Questions around Amorim's job swirled after a damaging defeat away to Brentford, coupled with a rough derby display at Man City.
Ratcliffe came out publicly to back the United head coach and as he watched on here at Old Trafford he saw a swashbuckling display against a Brighton side that have long caused problems for United on this patch.
'I never had that feeling of embarrassment of what I was doing or not winning games,' Amorim said of pressure around bad results.
