🗣️ sky sports sheth: "The interesting thing with Semenyo is if United were to sign him, where Ruben Amorim would want to play him.   Is he going to take over from either of Cunha or Mbeumo? It's very unlikely. Is it the left-wing back position that Amorim has cited Semenyo? And would Semenyo be happy playing in that position?  It's one thing saying 'let's trigger that release clause.' That doesn't necessarily mean the team who triggers that release clause are going to get Antoine Semenyo."

🗣️ Rúben Amorim: "Benjamin Šeško is gonna improve a lot. He’s returned very fast. The idea was 70, maybe 75, minutes. We are trying to control everything. He did well, he fought a lot and he is going to do well."

🚨 BREAKING: A deal worth €40M is on Manchester United’s table for Joshua Zirkzee. Roma have put forward an initial loan fee worth €5M and an option to buy of €30M. Bonuses of €5M will be handed to Amorim’s side, if the Roma qualify for the Champions League. This offer is close to United’s demands which is €50M. Roma now want to reach a compromise on these terms as soon as possible. [CorSport, Sport Witness]

🗣 Rúben Amorim on Benjamin Šeško: “I think he is a different type of striker. “The only one in that part because Josh [Zirkzee] is more like a no.9 and 10 at the same time, a little bit like Cunha. Ben is a guy who likes to be in the box. He makes a lot of runs. “Of course, if you look at him, you can feel that he has so much more to give. He is improving the physicality, he was one month without playing, but he is ready and he is going to help us.”

🗣️ David Ornstein on Antoine Semenyo: "Everything I’ve learned suggests that a transfer is highly possible and the names that are emerging as the leading contenders are Manchester City and Manchester United, in no particular order. They’re both extremely fond of him. Liverpool are said to have great admiration for him. They’ve not moved to the same extent so far. Let’s see if anything changes due to the Isak injury as we broke the news that Liverpool fear it’s a significant injury to his lower left leg. Tottenham were very keen and they were prepared to pay a significant salary to Semenyo, but he is politely focusing on other options, namely City or United, and he will have to make a decision around that. Arsenal looked at the situation, but more towards the summer and I don’t think that he is willing to wait until the summer.”

🚨 BREAKING: Roma are advancing in talks with Joshua Zirkzee on personal terms for January. #MUFC [Fabrizio Romano]

🚨 BAD NEWS : Bruno Fernandes could be out with injury for at least a month. [Telegraph]

🗣 Michael Carrick on Manchester United’s performance: “Manchester United played really well considering the players they’re missing.” 🗣 Roy Keane: “There are too many players, like Dalot, who just do NOT do enough."

Amorim: “The better team didn’t win today.” “Everyone who watched the game knows that we were the better team, but we were unlucky, especially after Bruno Fernandes went off.” on whether Mainoo will return to face Newcastle: “Kobbie Mainoo is out, Bruno is out, so we'll see. No excuses, we'll try to win the next game.” on Bruno Fernandes injury: “It is soft tissue so it is going to take a while. I think he's going to miss some games.” “I am a manager for six years and even Sporting is all about the academy, so it's about the history. Every manager wants to bring players through from the academy and not spend money because this gives value to the manager. I just want to win and want to be certain that the players that come in from the academy are not going to suffer too much. I'm just trying to help the club, it doesn't matter if it's from the academy or abroad.”

🚨Kobbie Mainoo is expected to be out for a week or so with the slight calf injury he suffered in training yesterday. [Daily Mail]
