Manchester United face an intriguing month as the January transfer window remains open for business. Ruben Amorim's side are in the hunt for a return to European football and could turn to new signings to help the team get across the line.
United battled to a 1-1 draw against Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday. The result only adds to the clamour for the club to bring in new signings, with several players being touted to join Amorim's squad.
Ruben Amorim swerves transfer question
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim refused to be drawn on his comments about the ongoing transfer window. The Portuguese coach had previously hinted that his view did not align with the club hierarchy regarding recruitment.
Ahead of the club’s win over Newcastle last month, Amorim said: “I have the feeling if we have to play a perfect 3-4-3, we need to spend a lot of money and we need time. I'm starting to understand that is not going to happen. So, maybe I have to adapt."
When asked to clarify why he had been unsure about United’s approach to recruitment, Amorim refused to give a detailed explanation. "I don't want to talk about that. I just focus on the Leeds game,” he said in his pre-match press conference.
Amorim stated that he did not regret his earlier transfer comments and gave another cryptic response. "I don't want to talk about that,” he continued. There was a brief pause before Amorim added: "But you are very smart, so..."

Manchester United loanee Harry Amass is reportedly weighing up his options after impressing at Sheffield Wednesday. He is claimed to be attracting interest from teams higher up in the Championship table, with United unlikely to recall the youngster.
While Amass could remain with the relegation-stricken Owls, where he has made 20 appearances, United may choose to send him elsewhere. The Sun reports that Stoke City, managed by Mark Robins, are leading a 12-club battle for his signature.

The situation follows Amass’ recent reaction to Amorim saying the defender was “struggling” at Wednesday. The teenager later posted a picture of himself with the club’s player of the month award, though the post was subsequently deleted.
When asked to explain his comments about Amass and other United academy prospects, Amorim said: "I didn't say anything wrong. I just spoke about how the luck of playing for Manchester United. Sometimes you play for Manchester United and you go see different realities and you understand that football can be so different and that you are really lucky to be in Manchester United."
