Amorim Prioritizes the Club in Signing Decisions
Manchester United coach, Rubén Amorim, has made it clear that the main priority in decisions about player departures will be the club. This applies to footballers like Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, who could consider leaving the team in January. Both Mainoo and Zirkzee have struggled to secure playing time this season and could seek new opportunities before next summer’s World Cup. Despite not being regular starters, both players are considered in Amorim’s call-ups.Amorim emphasized his desire to help his players, understanding the frustration that can arise when seeing the proximity of the World Cup. However, he reiterated that Manchester United is the priority. Additionally, Manchester United is expected to incorporate at least one central midfielder next summer. This is an area that worries Amorim, who relies heavily on Casemiro, 33, along with Bruno Fernandes. Casemiro has gained importance due to the decline in Manuel Ugarte’s performance. Amorim, who knows Ugarte well from their time together at Sporting CP, commented that the Uruguayan is “struggling” to adapt to the Premier League.The club comes first, so we have to think about the club and the team, and then anything can happen. I was a footballer, I understand everything, and I want to help my players in every situation, so I don’t know what’s going to happen.

Amorim added that his job is to help Ugarte feel like a footballer, as he did at Sporting CP, recognizing that adapting to a new environment requires time and constant improvement, especially in training.You can feel that many very good players come here, and sometimes they struggle. He is struggling at the moment, but it’s our job to try to help our players, and again, everything can change, and you saw it five weeks ago, the atmosphere was completely different.
