Amorim admits Man Utd will do little business in January
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has spoken to the media as his side prepare to face Leeds United.
United are unbeaten in our last 25 league outing against promoted sides, winning 22 of those games. Amorim will confidence from this, as well as how the Red Devils have also lost just one of our last 19 Premier League games against Leeds.
Amorim, who will be aiming to push into the top four this weekend, first spoke on the intense rivalry between the two sides, which many argue comes from the War of the Roses hundreds of years ago.
“I never experienced this one. Different environment, different culture, but the noise is going to be big. It’s hard to compare different cultures, different derbies, histories.
“When you play for Manchester United, you need to be ready for everything. You guys have the best league in the world, every game you see there is a lot of draws, you never understand what is going to happen at the end of that week.”
Questions then switched to the January transfer window, which is now, of course, open. Amorim was asked about incomings and outgoings, revealing that there will be very little business.
“The transfer window is not going to change, we have no conversation to have any change in the squad.
“There is a process, there is an idea – that is going to continue. We are near places of the Champions League but we are also near eight teams behind us, so let’s focus on the next game.
Has anyone has knocked on his door asking to leave the club: “No, none of them. I don’t expect them to come to me to ask (to leave).”
Manchester City star Oscar Bobb is set to leave the club after being slowly forced out of the club.
Following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo, Bobb, who rarely featured under manager Pep Guardiola, has been pushed aside in recent weeks as the club seek to offload the teenager.
The 22-year-old has featured 19 times in 2025-26 following further injury concerns and despite his recent return, he has been absent from the side who are winless so far in 2026.
Now, as reported by journalist Ben Jacobs, Bobb is set to be sold as City cash in on the youngster who is very unlikely to be handed any more opportunities in the side.
“Oscar Bobb could leave Manchester City this month on a permanent transfer. As revealed in December, Fulham are keen.
“Discussions are now advancing, as @FabrizioRomano called.
“Dortmund also have Bobb on their radar.
“Manchester City prefer a sale to a loan and value Bobb in the region of £30m-£35m depending on the structure.
“Understand Bobb is now Fulham’s top priority. Fulham also still working on USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi despite his injury.”
Manchester United have made a move for Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovac.
While they have Michael Carrick in place after sacking Ruben Amorim, United only see their former midfielder as a stop-gap to the end of the season.
Sky Deutschland says United have made contact with Kovac’s camp seeking information on the Croatian’s plans.
Kovac took charge of Dortmund a year ago and penned an extension to 2027 at the start of this season.
However, it’s understood the 54 year-old holds an ambition to work in the Premier League.
Dortmund sit second in the Bundesliga, 11 points off near-perfect Bayern, and are tenth in the Champions League.
The Moroccan Football Federation said Monday it has formally referred to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA incidents involving Senegalese players and supporters protesting a penalty to Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations final.
Senegal’s protest in added time of normal play during Sunday night’s clash in Rabat led to the match being paused for nearly 20 minutes as the players walked off the pitch in anger.
Some Senegalese fans at the opposite end of the stadium threw chairs and other objects and attempted to get onto the field of play.
The AFCON hosts’ football federation said these acts “had a significant impact on the normal course of the match and on the players’ performance”, with Morocco then missing the penalty that could have granted them their first African title in 50 years.
The federation said “it will resort to legal procedures” with CAF, the tournament’s organising body, and FIFA “in order to rule on the withdrawal of the Senegalese national team from the field”… “as well as on the events that accompanied this decision”.
It said the referee’s decision to grant the Atlas Lions a penalty was “deemed correct by unanimous opinion of specialists”.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino condemned “some Senegal players” for the “unacceptable scenes”.
Senegal scored the game’s only goal just four minutes into extra time after the players returned to the pitch following an appeal from star forward Sadio Mane.
Several Moroccan media outlets on Monday criticised Senegal for a lack of fair play and unsporting behaviour.
