When asked about Fernandes’ comments, Amorim stated that “a team can always improve with more players, but we have players to create that competition.” The coach emphasized the need to improve as a team and expressed satisfaction with the current squad.
Negotiations to sign Sesko continue. RB Leipzig is also in talks with Newcastle United, who have made a formal offer for the player.
Before the match against Everton, United’s chief executive, Omar Berrada, stated that the recruitment team is working “tirelessly” to add more players to the squad.
Berrada explained to MUTV that the recruitment team, led by Jason Wilcox, is committed to seeking opportunities to strengthen the team, with numerous meetings and calls to stay on top of the situation.
