Ruben Amorim makes telling Manchester United admission as January transfer update given

The January transfer window is almost upon us, and it’s one that Manchester United fans may be looking towards with a bit more anticipation given recent results.

United fell to their third loss in a row in all competitions on Boxing Day as goals from Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-Chan gave Wolves a 2-0 win. It came after Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a second bookable offence early in the second half.

The window opens in less than a week with Ruben Amorim given the chance to complete his first transfers as head coach. Eyes will first though be on the Premier League clash against Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Monday night (8pm kick-off).

While we wait for that game, and the transfer window, we’ve taken a look at some of the stories around Old Trafford. We’ve also given our own thoughts on the situation.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has admitted that he doesn’t know how long it will take for him to fully implement his ideas into the United squad, before seeing results. United fell to a 2-0 defeat against Wolves on Thursday, leaving them in 14th place in the Premier League table.

When asked how long it would take for him to make an impact at United, he said: "I have no idea. No idea. Instead of me trying to understand how much time it will take, just day by day.

"Improving, trying to see the videos, using every minute of training and try to win some points because it's really important in this moment."

He then added: "In this moment, we just have to survive and to win some time to work on the team. We already knew it. I start this job and you start with the team, a new idea, without any time to train, with a lot of games, tough games.

"We already knew it, so it's a long journey, like I said in the first
