"It looks like Ruben Amorim is safe as Manchester United manager for the time being, according to latest reports on his future. The Portuguese tactician has endured a very difficult start to life at Old Trafford, but it seems there is not currently any plan to sack him. Instead, it seems Man Utd are expected to back Amorim with further transfer funds for January as they target new midfielders, according to TEAMtalk."
"United focused a lot on strengthening their attack this summer, signing an entire new front three as Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko all joined. However, it's clear that MUFC have also slightly neglected other areas of their squad, with more quality needed in the middle of the park. Wharton or Anderson would surely be a significant upgrade on the ageing Casemiro, while Manuel Ugarte has also largely flopped since joining last summer."
"Given the links with Wharton and Anderson, it will also be interesting to see what happens with Kobbie Mainoo. The talented young England international is not getting much playing time at the moment, which is pretty damning considering the competition he's up against. If the plan really is to bring in Wharton or Anderson in the near future, then it's hard to imagine Mainoo staying and being part of Amorim's project."
Ruben Amorim is currently safe as Manchester United manager. Manchester United plan to back Amorim with additional January transfer funds to target midfield reinforcements. Targets include Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson, both of whom have impressed in the Premier League and for England. United recruited a new front three this summer — Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko — but the midfield remains a weak area. Wharton or Anderson would upgrade the ageing Casemiro, while Manuel Ugarte has underperformed since joining last summer. Kobbie Mainoo is receiving limited playing time and has become unsettled, making a January exit a distinct possibility.
