Amorim Urges Manchester United to Avoid Panic Buying Despite Injury Woes
Ruben Amorim has cautioned Manchester United against making hurried January signings following a series of injuries to key squad members. Bruno Fernandes recently sustained a left-calf injury during the defeat to Aston Villa and is expected to miss the home Boxing Day match against Newcastle. Concerns have been raised that Fernandes could be sidelined for an extended period.
In addition to Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo is also out with a calf issue, further limiting United's midfield options for the upcoming fixture. Despite these setbacks, Amorim emphasized that the club would prioritize internal solutions over pressuring recruitment staff to secure reinforcements.
Amorim underscored the importance of adhering to the club's existing plan and warned against rushing into January signings that might lead to mistakes. He acknowledged the challenging period but stressed the need to endure it and focus on gaining points. While assessing options for the Newcastle game, he confirmed that Fernandes and Mainoo would be unavailable and reiterated there would be no quick-fix transfers, insisting the club has a clear strategy in place.
The recent match saw Villa defeat United, with Morgan Rogers scoring the decisive second goal after Matheus Cunha had equalized. Despite some reservations about Rogers' first-half performance, Emery praised his impact in the second half.
