United have repeatedly stressed they would only make signings in January if they fit their long-term template. Speaking after the Newcastle game, Amorim said he sometimes clashed with the club over targets. Amorim said after the Newcastle game it was important the coach's voice was listened to because he understood the qualities needed to play in his team. However, Amorim said neither player, or anyone else for that matter, had told him they wanted to leave. However, on Friday, having previously suggested United could make at least one signing this month, Amorim said he was not anticipating new arrivals.
