West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says he is not 'fearful' for his job, despite the club's slow start to the season.
The East Londoners looked on course for a win at Tottenham on Saturday but conceded two late goals to lose 3-2 instead and lie just a point and a place above the Premier League drop zone.
However, Bilic remains confident he has the support of joint-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold, and feels the Hammers have been improving in recent games.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's trip to Manchester United, Bilic said: "There is not much to say, I am doing my job.
"I speak to the owners, mostly Mr Sullivan, regularly after every game, and in between if something needs talking about.
"I feel supported and, as I have said so many times, I concentrate on my job and our next game, and that's basically it.
"I'm not fearful. I feel pressure, of course, because we are not producing, we're not delivering, and we don't have enough points to feel happy and to feel safe.
"But I see the improvement. Against Spurs I saw a team hungry and alive. The points were there for us in a difficult away game, so that's what I'm confident about.
"I take my job in good times and bad times. How I look at my job, or any manager's job, is that the next few games can change everything from good times to bad times, and bad times to good.
"When we were doing well, I wasn't thinking about getting a new contract. All I concentrate on is how to improve the team, to lift them after a defeat or improve after a good run. That's how I look at my job."
With all the sides having played just 12 games, the middle of the table is congested and West Ham are only four points behind mid-table Bournemouth.
"If we had won at Spurs we'd have been about 12th," Bilic added.
"We can say it's still early days but we have to start picking up the points. We can say we deserved more or were unlucky, but the table doesn't lie.
"We know it will be hard, starting on Sunday, and then Arsenal and Liverpool, but also against Burnley after that.
"If we play like we played Saturday and avoid those mistakes, and with a little bit of luck, we can pick up results in any game."
