'I won't get the time Mikel Arteta had' - Ruben Amorim knows he must turn around Man Utd fortunes quickly as struggling coach admits INEOS won't be as patient as Arsenal

United play Arsenal this weekend in a game between two sides at opposite ends of the table. Amorim's side are 14th while the Gunners are second. Arteta had to weather two difficult seasons at the Emirates, finishing eighth and fourth, and despite two successive Premier League title challenges, he is now approaching his fifth year without a trophy.

Amorim, though, admits that he does not expect to receive the same amount of patience as Arteta did at Arsenal, as the two sides prepare to go head-to-head once more. The Gunners are 13 points behind Liverpool in second and need a win, while United are 14 points behind the top four.

Amorim told reporters: "I will not have the time Arteta had. I feel that. It's a different club, I think it's a different club. I think in that aspect the way Arteta dealt with that is an inspiration for everybody but I will not have the time like Arteta had."

After their meeting this weekend, United face Real Sociedad in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie, while Arsenal play PSV. The Gunners have a 7-1 lead; United drew 1-1.
