Agencies [e-mail] WOLVERHAMPTON: Ruben Amorim admitted he had "no idea" how long it will take for him to revive Manchester United, saying his focus was on "survival" after a defeat by Wolves condemned him to the worst start by any Old Trafford boss in nearly 100 years.

Thursday's 2-0 loss at Molineux -- United's third consecutive defeat -- made Amorim the first United manager to lose five or more of his first 10 matches in charge since Walter Crickmer in January 1932.

"I have no idea. No idea. Instead of me trying to understand how much time it will take, just day by day," Amorim said when asked how long it will take for his ideas to have an impact.

"Improving, trying to see the videos, using every minute of training and try to win some points because it's really important in this moment..."

"In this moment, we just have to survive and win some time to work on the team.

"We already knew it. I start this job and you start with the team, a new idea, without any time to train, with a lot of games, tough games."
