- Manchester United recalled midfielder Toby Collyer from his West Brom loan to focus on fitness after a November injury, potentially adding cover.
- Sky Sports reports United explored Brighton’s Carlos Baleba but no January deal is expected, with central midfield signings targeted for the summer.
- Reports indicate Marcus Rashford’s Barcelona loan has no recall clause and includes a £26m buy option, with Spanish media suggesting Barca could seek a lower fee after his 7 goals and 11 assists in 24 games.
- With Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo injured and Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui at AFCON, Amorim signalled he may adapt tactics given cost and time constraints.
