Ruben Amorim is too wise to get sucked into the wider talk about Manchester United.
"You said it," he pointed out in response to a question about his team's improved form this month. "Three weeks."
Let's wind back.
Three weeks ago, United went into a game against Sunderland, a side that has just beaten Chelsea and are sitting very nicely in a Champions League berth, amid reports Amorim was at risk of losing his job if his side had lost.
Senior club officials strongly rejected the notion privately before the game and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has since done so publicly.
