Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has made clear his desire for new players at Old Trafford this month and the Red Devils have already confirmed a deal after striking an agreement

Ruben Amorim has played down the prospect of Manchester United strengthening their squad in the January window but insisted that he wants to keep his best players following speculation that Kobbie Mainoo could leave Old Trafford.

Head coach Ruben Amorim spoke of the situation on Friday ahead of the FA Cup third-round clash with Arsenal. While he insisted he would like to keep Mainoo, Amorim acknowledged that his hands could be tied due to the club's precarious position when it comes to finances.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says he wants to keep Kobbie Mainoo amid transfer links with Chelsea. The 19-year-old is considered a key player at Old Trafford after emerging last season under the tutelage of Erik ten Hag.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Manchester United will be a different proposition in Sunday's FA Cup third-round clash as a result of extra training time with Ruben Amorim.

Man United will have a week-long gap between games for the first time since August but their team at Arsenal will not be unchanged.

Ruben Amorim has said that Manchester United “need to improve recruitment” and maintained he wants Kobbie Mainoo to stay at the club. Amorim, 39, said that United need to target players who can deal with the demands that come with playing at Old Trafford while adding that the club’s intentions are to maintain their best academy talents.

Like one of those home renovation disasters, Manchester United are finding themselves rebuilding on top of the rebuild. Or at the very least, they're tearing down that new extension they put on the structure last summer.

A prolific striker in Europe's top leagues has been served to United on a silver platter, according to reports.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is set to complete his first signing for the club, with a left-back set to land at Old Trafford.
