West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic says that he is "not fearful" of losing his job at the London Stadium, despite the team's struggles this term.

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has insisted that he is "not fearful" of losing his job at the London Stadium.

Bilic was widely praised for his work at the club last season, but the Hammers have already lost seven times in the Premier League this term and currently sit just outside the relegation zone in 17th position.

The capital outfit face a tough trip to Manchester United this weekend knowing that a defeat could leave them inside the bottom three, but Bilic has claimed that he still has the full support of the club.

"There is no question - I am happy in my job. I speak to the owners, mostly to Mr Sullivan, after every game and sometimes in between games if there is something that needs to be talked about," Bilic told reporters.

"I feel the support. As I've told you many times I'm concentrating on the next game and that's basically it. I'm not fearful. There is pressure, of course, because at the moment we are not delivering.

"We don't have enough points to feel happy but I'm seeing the improvement. We were hungry and alive against Spurs and the points were there for us in that game but we made mistakes."

Bilic, 48, took charge of West Ham in June 2015 after leaving his post with Turkish side Besiktas.
