🗣️ Jamie Carragher: "I don't think they'll [Man Utd] finish in the top four but they need to get into Europe. The bar has been set so low after last season. "They spent a good chunk of change in the summer. They should be where they are in the table, qualifying for Europe. The Champions League would be a step too far. They were really good at Aston Villa." [sky] 📥@Manchester_Utdfc

Roy Keane on Manchester United: “If you want to make progress as a football club you have to be harder to beat. They need to improve or we will keep talking about the same problems. If they keep giving up chances and goals like they are, they will never make the next step.” #MUFC 📥@Manchester_Utdfc

🗣️ Gary Neville: "The biggest problem for Man Utd is not players at AFCON, it is the players at the back. They miss De Ligt and Maguire, and that is a big problem. "They look really open at the back and that is something they have to deal with. The lads in there are struggling to deal with it." [sky] 📥@Manchester _Utdfc

Manchester United have recalled Toby Collyer from his loan at West Brom. He had already returned to Carrington for treatment on a calf injury and the club have decided he will not go back when fit. [laurie whitwell]

Rúben Amorim on the role of his wing-backs: “We played last year with Nous [Mazraoui] and Diogo [Dalot] most of the times there. If you play with Amad, he's completely different. I think you are talking about that position of the winger. That can change our game. “I think in the future we can change also, like I was always talking to you guys, the system, we can play a different way. To take more quality from these players, because I have the feeling that if we have to play a perfect 3-4-3, we need to spend a lot of money and we need time. “So, I'm starting to understand that is not going to happen, so maybe I have to adapt. But talking about the winger position is to play with Amad is completely different. Imagine if we have a different character with a right foot like Amad on the other side, so you can be more aggressive. “You can change the way you play completely with the same system. Last year we played with Nous and [Tyrell] Malacia, sometimes. So, it's a completely different system if you play with Amad and another winger doing the opposite side, in the opposite side. So that was my meaning in that point.”

Rúben Amorim on his midfield shortage: “Yeah, but the day before was Kobbie [getting injured] and then it was Bruno, and we were talking about Kobbie doesn't have the minutes that he deserves and needs, and then we you have the opportunity and Kobbie is not there, so sometimes it's bad luck. “I think during this year we had some moments that we had a little bit of bad luck. I think when I look at the team, I think when we have the full squad, I think I need to take more quality from that group. So, I'm focused on that. “If we can bring someone good [we will sign in January], if not, we'll spend money in the summer, I think.”

Rúben Amorim on Casemiro and Harry Maguire's contracts: “No, there is no decision. We have a lot to do. We need to understand what is going to happen in the next season because we need to understand if there is European games, what we are doing. “So, we have so much to do in this moment, we are not thinking about that. We will think far ahead. We need to just think about the next game.” Rúben Amorim asked if he would like to keep Casemiro and Harry Maguire: “I'm really happy with them, but I don't know what is going to happen, so we’ll see what is going to happen until the end of the season, what position we will be, and then we’ll see.” Rúben Amorim asked if he would be disappointed with no January signings: “No. Of course, we are struggling in this moment, but the club, we have a plan. We have a plan and we are going to stick with the plan. “I think if we have the opportunity to bring a player that we think that is going to be the future of the club, he’s going to come. “If not, we have Jack [Fletcher], we have Shea [Lacey]. In three weeks, we'll have Amad, Nous, Bryan, the return of Bruno, Kobbie Mainoo, so we'll see.”

Rúben Amorim: “Kobbie Mainoo will have the opportunity that he has all the time. He played in different positions, and we talk about the position of Casemiro, he can do that position. “He can play, if you play with three [in midfield], he can play – like we played in the last game – the position of Mason Mount in this game, he can play there. “So, in the future, he's going to be the future of Manchester United. That is my feeling. So, you just need to wait for each chance, and everything can change in football in two days.” Rúben Amorim asked if he would let Kobbie Mainoo leave if he requsted: “If we are not getting someone, it's hard to leave. We are shorter. Even with the full squad, we are shorter for something that can happen here. And we are a club with a big responsibility. “We are dealing with all these issues in your heads, in my head, in everybody's head, we need to win every game, it doesn't matter. There are no excuses. “So, it's going to be hard for someone to leave the club if we don't get a substitution.”

Rúben Amorim on Casemiro's future: “I'm not saying that he's going to continue or not. And then when I see Casemiro training, if everyone trains like him, if everyone is so focused on the detail, even in training, in set-pieces training, even when they are playing 10 versus goalkeeper, and the movements that he made, imagining the game, we will be a top team. “If everyone works like Casemiro, and when I say work it’s not just running, it’s the focus. You can understand why that guy won five Champions Leagues, because if you pay attention to everything that he does with contract, with no contract, he's top player.” Rúben Amorim on Kobbie Mainoo: “In the future, he's going to be the FUTURE of #mufc. That is my feeling. “So, you just need to WAIT for each chance, and everything can change in football in two days.”

Rúben Amorim: "I have the feeling that if we have to play a PERFECT 3-4-3, we need to spend a lot of money and we need time. "So, I'm starting to understand that is not going to happen, so maybe I HAVE to adapt..."
