Ruben Amorim has played down the prospect of Manchester United strengthening their squad in the January window but insisted that he wants to keep his best players following speculation that Kobbie Mainoo could leave Old Trafford.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has the chance to act on his pledge that he will need to win a trophy in his first season in charge at Old Trafford in order to set the club up for long term success.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says he wants to keep Kobbie Mainoo amid transfer links with Chelsea. The 19-year-old is considered a key player at Old Trafford after emerging last season under the tutelage of Erik ten Hag.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Manchester United will be a different proposition in Sunday's FA Cup third-round clash as a result of extra training time with Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim definitely wants to add a new attacker for next season but Manchester United will have competition.

Ruben Amorim insisted he wants to hang on to Kobbie Mainoo amid speculation Manchester United are willing to offload the teenage midfielder this month. Mainoo still has two-and-a-half years left to run on his contract but United have little wiggle room to buy players in the January transfer window because of profit and sustainability (PSR) regulations.
