US EditionManchester United boss Ruben Amorim silent on transfer comment
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says no player transfers are planned in January despite squad injuries and a need for long-term investment, with £200 million spent on forwards.
- On Friday, Ruben Amorim, Manchester United manager, declined to expand on his claim it will take time and money to make his system work and said he was not optimistic about signings this month.
- With eight first-team players missing, Amorim has said he wants to see more from current players, despite United spending 200 million to improve their attack, leaving other areas overlooked.
- Pressured on Friday, Amorim repeatedly refused to clarify his Christmas Eve remark and noted clashes over targets, including Emiliano Martinez and Senne Lammens, with the United media official beginning to ask the next question.
- Manchester United's poor home run has left fans short on confidence, as United sit sixth and only three points ahead of Fulham, raising doubts about Amorim's future if European qualification is missed.
- Later this year United plan to recruit midfielders and wing-backs, but several January targets—Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson and Carlos Baleba—are not regarded as realistic this month.
