Tonight marks a year since the Portuguese oversaw his first match as Red Devils boss, with that 1-1 draw at Ipswich followed by home wins against Bodo/Glimt and Everton.

But that promising start was followed by Amorim advising "the storm will come" - a prescient forecast for a side that would finish 15th in the Premier League.

The Europa League final loss to Tottenham compounded that lowly finish, but things are now looking up and United head into tonight's Old Trafford meeting with Everton unbeaten in five matches.

Asked if the storm is now over or whether he fears they could be engulfed in another, boss Amorim said: "I have always that feeling (there could be a setback).
