Amorim Warns of January Exit Requests as He Nears One Year at United

Sir Jim Ratcliffe reiterates a three-year mandate despite a turbulent first season.

Overview

  • Ruben Amorim says he expects underused Manchester United players to ask to leave in January with the World Cup approaching.
  • Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee have had limited minutes this season, and United rejected a summer request from Mainoo to depart.
  • United have won three straight league games to climb to sixth in the table, sitting six points behind the leaders.
  • Amorim previously offered to resign during last season’s slump, but Ratcliffe publicly backed him and said he will be judged over three years.
  • The head coach says any winter business will fit a long-term plan, with spending since his appointment reported at close to £250 million.
