🗣 Ruben Amorim on the Academy debuts: "Fletcher did his first game, so that is good news, Lacey the same, so we will try to find solutions and go for the next game.

Matheus Cunha asked if speaking five languages helps him: "100%. my chemistry with the guys, how I can adapt and everything that I can do is 100% about the language. "This helped me a lot, and my connection with the guys is building stronger." "I think I can speak good five languages, but I say four. I'm confident in the four, but yeah, I feel like four languages I can speak well. "Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, and then the fifth one I always like... "I can put the Italian there, but I don't feel like so confident to talk, so the four ones is 100%." on scoring vs Bournemouth: "The atmosphere was unbelievable. The fans come here, they come to give their life for the club, you know. "So, this is the feeling when you put the shirt on and come here to see the fans inside of the stadium. "Wow, the stadium, I feel like, is amazing. The feeling is amazing to be part of this and have this kind of part of the dream." on scoring in front of the Stretford End vs Bournemouth: |It's the experience to play in this club and then have your dream come true, you know? You dream to score and then when you score, you feel like, ah, I realized, you know? "So, you feel like, so happy your family was like, I don't know, maybe five, four minutes. This goal was the winning goal. "So, this is kind of things that you always dream and then when you can do, we feel like, yeah, it's amazing. I want to do much more." asked who's helped him settle in at #mufc: "This one I'll pick Luke Shaw. I think he knows a lot about the club, you know, it's a long time here and then I feel with him, he always like, some of them impact me a lot, how he treat me and like to help me, so I feel so grateful and yeah, I think our relationship started to be bigger and bigger." asked who he has the strongest chemistry with off the pitch: "Interesting. Of course, Case is someone that I can pick because he's Brazilian and... it's easier to do everything. "But out of the pitch, you know, like, that's impacted me a lot. I think we have, like, an amazing group, then everyone tries to help everyone. "So, to pick someone is hard, but, yeah, I always think about a lot of guys and we have, like, a very good chemistry."

Rúben Amorim told Villa Park is a favourite of travelling #mufc fans: "Yeah, but that is normal, so I don't know the... It's not going to be different from the last games away. We are playing better away. We are winning games away, so we want to continue with that." on his first trip to Villa Park: "I know that is a great environment, but I'm focused on the game. A big challenge for us, but we proved that in the big challenge, we are always ready, so that is the idea." "Kobbie [Mainoo] needs to FIGHT for his job, I think that is not a bad thing to be on the bench of #mufc at 20 years old. "I remember Ronaldo was on the bench, Rooney was on the bench sometimes, Veron was not playing, I remember the HISTORY of Manchester United and nobody didn’t fall. "So, let’s continue trying to avoid the nonsense and the noise. Believe it or not, I just want to help the team to win and help Kobbie to be a better player." "I’m not trying to say: ‘Kobbie, you are a BIG player here, let’s put you on the bench to show something.’ No, what I’m saying is the OPPOSITE. "I’m just not putting Kobbie [on the pitch] sometimes because I understand that this is NOT the right guy to start the game. Maybe the NEXT game [vs Aston Villa], he’s going to start. "If he plays WELL, he’s going to show everyone this guy cannot take me out the team, and I will be so happy. So, I don’t care. I don’t want to show nothing to anyone. "I’m just saying that I’m trying to win games and to show to the players that if you do things right, you will play no matter the name." on January transfers: "We will see. The only thing we know is we will only try to bring players that we think are going to be the future. "It’s not going to be to save something in this moment, to cope with the losses of three players for AFCON, it’s not going to be like that. Even if we try to bring one player, maybe it’s not the position that we need more. "We will try to bring now and [at] the end of the season players that are perfect for our future. So, I don’t know what is going to happen, but it is possible that we can do something." "It depends on the way we play in that particular week, but if we HAVE to change for a back four, we CHANGE for a back four." asked whether Jadon Sancho is proof of what McTominay recently claimed: "I don’t have NOTHING to say about that. Sancho is NOT our player in the moment, he’s playing for the opposition, he’s not going to play [because he’s ineligible as he’s on loan]. "He’s a very good player. I have nothing to say about that and if I’m going to comment [on] everybody that speaks about #mufc, I will not do anything else. I just want to win the next game against Villa." "We are really happy with Senne [Lammens], we have a game against Aston Villa, I don’t want to comment [on] anything else, just focus on that. "I’m really happy with the goalkeepers, and I’m really happy to have Senne." Q: "And happy with how he’s doing so far?" "Yeah, for sure."

🗣️ Ruben Amorim on Kobbie Mainoo and why he won’t hold his step brother’s T-shirt stunt against him: "I had the situation in Sporting. My brother wrote something on the internet, and I had to answer for that. My explanation was that he has his life, he has his opinion, and it's nothing to do with me. I will do the same with Kobbie. Kobbie needs to fight for his job. It is not a bad thing to be on the bench when you are 20 years old. I remember Ronaldo was on the bench, Rooney was on the bench sometimes. Veron was not playing. So let's continue in trying to avoid the nonsense and the noise. I just want to want to help the team to win. To help Kobbie to be a better player." On change of tactics: "It will depend on the way we playing that particular week. But if we have to change to a back four, we change to a back four."

🗣️ Ruben Amorim: "Sancho is not our player currently, he is playing for the opposing team, he will not be playing, but he is a very good player." on the interest in Emi Martinez this summer: "We are very satisfied with Senne. We have a match against Aston Villa, I don't want to make any other comments. I am very satisfied with the goalkeepers and I am very happy to have Senne." on the January window: "We'll see. The only thing that we know is that we only would try to bring players that we think that is going to be the future. It's not going to be to save something in this moment, to cope with the losses of three players for AFCON. It's not going to be like that, even if we try to bring one player, maybe it's not the position that is more that we need more."

🚨 Following recent transfer rumors, here's how we could line up after the potential January signings of Ruben Neves and Antoine Semenyo!

🚨 Kobbie Mainoo has a strong desire to join Napoli this January! He prefers them over 10–12 other clubs, with his family also backing the move. Napoli are pushing and making progress on the player side. [Fabrizio Romano]

🗣️ Fabrizio Romano: "A January move for Semenyo is expected to happen. In November, Liverpool called to be informed on Semenyo, they appreciate the player but as of yet have not had contact with Bournemouth or the players camp, just a call in November to understand the structure of the release clause. The two clubs from Manchester, Monday, Tuesday, both called for Semenyo — I can confirm that. Man City and Man United are both involved in the conversation for Semenyo. United are in the race and have Semenyo to play in different positions — he can play in the current system for Amorim or eventually, if they change the system, he can be an important player in a different tactical approach."

🗣️ Ruben Amorim on his comments about Manchester United academy players last week: “I think the feeling a little bit of ENTITLED one we have in our club, sometimes strong words is not bad words, difficult moments are not bad for the kids. We don’t need always to be accolades for every situation. “You guys talk about players who speak against clubs because you feel entitlement, then you have legends so if you don’t play, leave because everyone is wrong. No, stay and FIGHT, I have the feeling we need to fight against this feeling. “I’m the first one to say I’m failing. Outside the pitch I guarantee I’m not failing this club. We forget the players what it means to play for Man United, we as a club forget sometimes who we are. It’s the environment, the kids feel entitled and free to respond to the manager with a picture. “My office is open but nobody is coming to me. We need to change as a club. I didn’t say anything wrong, I spoke about how the luck of playing for Man United. Sometimes you play for Man United and see different realities and you understand football can be so different. That was my point.”

🗣Sir Alex Ferguson on his secret when rebuilding football teams: "I think my appetite was for YOUNG people and players. When I went to St Mirren, they had no money. The best thing I could do was sit at the coaching schools on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the young players, and then five ended up becoming internationals. "Then I went to Aberdeen and continued that ethic; we won the European Cup without our own training ground and eight players were produced by the club. It was fantastic. "When I went to United, Bobby Charlton was in the meeting and I said: 'I don’t know why you have appointed me unless you give me the reign to produce young players.' Bobby said, 'That’s done, you’ve got the job.' Bobby Charlton was a fantastic man."
