- Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee have struggled for game time, with Mainoo having explored a summer exit that United rejected.
- Amorim kept the door open for January signings but stressed recruits must suit a longer-term plan rather than short-term fixes.
- United’s recent overhaul, including first-choice goalkeeper Senne Lammens and forwards Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, has intensified competition for places.
- Former winger Nani urged United to target Joao Palhinha, who is on loan at Tottenham with an option to buy, while Antoine Semenyo said he remains focused on Bournemouth despite links.
