Ruben Amorim has insisted Manchester United are only at the start of a long journey back to success.
The Portuguese coach has won just eight of 17 games since taking over in November.
United have struggled to adapt to his tactical style and philosophy.
Wins over Everton, City, and a draw with Liverpool have shown promise.
But heavy losses to Brighton, Wolves, Newcastle, Bournemouth, and Forest have halted momentum.
Ruben Amorim has faced criticism but defended his work, stressing patience is needed.

“Because it’s the start of work and the details may be more important,” he told TNT Sports Mexico.
“No, it’s not completely worth looking at the table.
“We already know that everything that doesn’t end up in the first place doesn’t mean anything to a club like Manchester United.
“But at this point, we also have to have a sense of the context.
“So, I don’t look at the table. I look at what the team is doing, the things we have to improve.
“And if we look at the table and try to win two games at a time, to go up the table a lot, I don’t think it’s going to work.
“So, at this point, it’s just thinking about the next game.”
United edged past Fulham in their last game, with Lisandro Martinez scoring the winner.
Despite the victory, Amorim admitted his side’s performance was still lacking.
“I think that we… I was watching Fulham’s game for the second time.
“The positions are there, but there are a lot of routines missing,” Amorim added.

“There’s no time to train the routines. They’re trying to do it, but without the routines, there’s no aggressiveness in the moves.
“With the ball, especially with the ball. Without the ball it’s easier.
“There are a lot of rules without the ball. It’s easier to explain.
“With the ball, it has a lot to do with understanding the space, what the opponent is doing.
“We want to do something, but then the opponent covers certain spaces and we, with the routines, we can see that the game is not like that anymore.
“Without training, it’s impossible.
“I would say that they’re trying to do the positions we want, the idea we want, to try to have more ball.
“But obviously, a lot is missing. And that’s felt in the lack of opportunities.
“The lack of routines is very noticeable.
“If one does the wrong move, it compromises the rest. It’s a bit like that.
“They have to read each other. If the ball is on one side, the one on the back of the colleague has to realise what kind of move he’s going to make according to the colleague in front.
“All of this takes a lot of routine. When there’s that routine, the games are much easier.
“There are answers for everything.”
