Ruben Amorim has already identified where Manchester United need to get better ahead of their upcoming return to Premier League action.
On a five-game unbeaten run, United welcome Everton on Monday with victory potentially lifting them into the Champions League spots. With a positive mood around Old Trafford for the first time since the Portuguese boss arrived last November, he has publicly outlined the problem he needs to address to maintain their upward trajectory.
Meanwhile, one United player has been informed their time at the club is effectively finished as we examine the latest news concerning the Red Devils.
Andre Onana verdict
Andre Onana has featured in just one match for United this campaign - their surprise defeat to Grimsby Town - before moving to Trabzonspor on loan in September. With Senne Lammens performing well in goal, former United favourite Gordon Strachan reckons the Cameroonian's Old Trafford days are virtually done.
The Scotsman told Esports News: "I think Andre Onana has played his last game for Manchester United. At United you must have a presence in goal - whether it's physical, attitude, or character, you have to be a presence. I don't think he had that when he played for the club.

"A big problem for me is that I'm not sure Onana really wanted to be at Old Trafford. He looked like he'd rather be somewhere else and that might be what he needs to start enjoying his football again.
"At no point did I think he was enjoying playing football for United. I'd be shocked if I saw him play again for the club. I think his United career is over in that respect."
Amorim's mindset issue
Despite enjoying his longest unbeaten streak since taking charge at Old Trafford last year, Amorim remains concerned about certain aspects of his side's performances. The pattern of dominant first-half displays followed by lacklustre second-half showings has become a recurring issue for the Red Devils.
Inconsistent performances against Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur have convinced Amorim that his squad's mentality needs addressing when protecting leads. When questioned about the reasons behind these fluctuations, he explained to the Premier League: "I think we lose intensity.

"I think we have some problems in two games that we lost, we lose Casemiro with some pain, Harry Maguire the same thing, and they are key players not just the way they play and the experience they have, the set pieces and people don't take that into consideration.
"I think when we are in advantage, we lose that thing of wanting to continue to press in the same way. We had that against Brighton until we suffered the first goal. So it's a lot of things together.
"We think about 'let's not suffer a goal' and our mindset should be 'we have one goal, we must get another and have the opportunity to kill the game'. So it is mental but it is also physical, we need to improve in that aspect also."
Rashford labelled 'incredible'
Nearly 12 months on from his final Manchester United outing, Marcus Rashford has rediscovered his best form this campaign at Barcelona. Boasting 15 goal contributions in 16 matches across all competitions, the 28-year-old's resurgence has earned him a recall to the England squad.
The striker added two further caps for his country during the recent international window, and it was Rashford who left the biggest impression on Eberechi Eze, with the Arsenal star revealing just how gifted his compatriot truly is.

Speaking on the Beast Mode On podcast, Eze said: "I've always known he's a good player, but for that first camp, I remember going away like, 'okay, this guy's part of some other stuff.'".
"The way he strikes the ball. The way he's running with the ball, how he operates is. He's an incredible, incredible player. And so, nah, I'll be honest, I enjoy watching him."
