Amorim's tenure as United manager began with a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich, and since then, the Portuguese coach has faced many challenges while leading the English football giants.
However, recent performances have been promising, with United entering this weekend's fixtures sitting seventh in the Premier League and unbeaten in their last five matches.
When Amorim was reminded that United only face three top-10 teams in their next 10 games, he responded to reporters: "It doesn't matter. In our league, it doesn't matter.
"The table, it doesn't matter, because everything is so close. That is irrelevant.
"If you know our team's history, we never know where the tough games are. That is completely irrelevant in the Premier League."
Much has changed at United since last November's trip to Ipswich, where Marcus Rashford scored early in the 1-1 draw.
The forward is one of five starters from that match who are no longer part of the United squad.
"My first thought was realizing the environment is completely different in the Premier League, and I was excited about that," Amorim said.
"Immediately, I knew we would face challenges. But it was that feeling of, yes, this is the best league in the world. It might be the best club in the world, but at the same time, it is a big task and will require a lot of effort."
Still, an optimistic Amorim added: "I believe we are showing that progress, but the important thing is that it doesn't matter what we did in recent games, we cannot forget that we started from a point where we suffered a lot last year.
"We have to keep that in mind and play every match like it's the last or the first one.
"If you ask me, yes, I expect a team (now) with more control and dominance, playing better football, and most importantly, we are more competitive in every aspect."
