Tony Popovic has declared teenage Manchester United sensation James Overy a chance to make the Socceroos' World Cup squad next year, even though he is yet to play a competitive senior match. The highly-touted full-back only turned 18 on Sunday but is now training regularly with the Premier League club's first team. Popovic selected Overy for this week's friendlies against Venezuela and Colombia as the Socceroos continue to prepare for next year's World Cup in North America.

Following their 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, Amorim admitted there are potential areas for improvement. Particular in the attacking position, where Benjamin Sesko suffered an injury against Tottenham. Although the full extent of the injury is still not known but if the injury turns out to be a serious one for the Red Devils, they would have to step into the market to sign a new attacker.

I don't know, I have to check. My biggest concern is with Ben. For me, they are all the same but we need to understand what happened. When asked specifically if Sesko could be facing a lengthy period on the sidelineds, Amorim said: He has something in his knee, so let's see. We think he has a problem.

However, the club does hold an option to extend his contract by a further 12 months. Ruben Amorim on the future of Casemiro & Maguire My goal is to continue counting on Casemiro and Harry Maguire, who have both had similar issues with their contracts, Amorim said, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but right now, we're fully focused on this season.

The Slovenian had already wasted a couple of opportunities when he suffered an injury three minutes from time chasing down a long ball. It was immediately obvious Sesko could not continue, and as United had already used all five substitutes they had to complete the game, which stood at 1-1, with 10 men. Head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed afterwards Sesko had sustained a knee injury, but did not know how serious it was.

Manchester United are plotting a winter raid on Nottingham Forest for their midfield mainstay Elliot Anderson. After a poor start to the season under Ruben Amorim, things have finally started to click for Manchester United. In order to build on it, the Red Devils have already started planning for the winter transfer window. The Portuguese manager seeks more quality in midfield, and they have already identified a top target.

I can't imagine Napoli will be open to letting Scott McTominay leave. He's such a key man for them. He's their talisman right now in that Napoli side, especially now with Kevin De Bruyne out injured. They'll need to keep hold of their best players and McTominay is definitely that. Four goals in 11 appearances this season (as of 30 October) and Napoli are top of Serie A again.

Manchester United will need to adapt to life without Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo during the Africa Cup of Nations which kicks off later this year. The Red Devils have turned a corner in recent weeks under Ruben Amorim, whose side boasts one of the best attacking outputs in the Premier League this term.
