Amorim Shuts Down January Transfer Moves, Rules Out Exits at Injury-Hit Man United

He cites a depleted squad from injuries alongside AFCON absences as the reason departures are off the table.

Overview

  • The United head coach said there are "no conversations" about bringing in players during the current window.
  • He described any departures as "impossible" with eight first-team absences through injury and international duty, including Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Bryan Mbeumo, Noussair Mazraoui and Amad Diallo.
  • He repeatedly refused to clarify his Dec. 24 remark that a "perfect 3-4-3" would require "time and money."
  • United explored Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, but reports indicate he is now close to joining Manchester City.
  • After roughly £200 million spent on attackers in the summer, planning has shifted toward central midfielders and wing-backs for the next window.
