Amorim insists no need to panic in final days of transfer window

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim insisted there was no need to panic in the final days of the January transfer window, despite his side slipping to another home defeat on Sunday.
Following their 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, United have now lost seven of their first 13 league home matches this season, their joint-most at this stage of a league campaign, along with 1893-94.
Goals have been hard to come by for United, with only Everton and the bottom three finding the net on fewer occasions in the Premier League.
With one day to go until the January window closes, Amorim said there would be no panic in the transfer market.
“We are trying everything to improve the team without doing (the transfer) mistakes of the past,” Amorim said. “And trying to balance the urgency of the moment, we know all of the aspects of our club in the moment but we are trying everything.
“When the window closes we will see the players, I’m focused on improving the team as a group, we need to win more games and we will try to do that, this season is like that.
“We need small improvements, try to win points, win the momentum, then we had setbacks and we go again.”
Amorim is yet to pick up back-to-back league wins since taking charge in November but believes the performance against Palace did show signs of improvement.
“The performance improved. Not a lot, but I think we played better than the other games, even against Southampton, we played better today,” he added.
“But when you continue to lose, especially at home, you have that feeling it’s nothing, the small improvement of the team. Let’s go again and see the next game.”

Barcelona make move for Manchester United’s out-of-favour Rashford

Marcus Rashford who has not featured in any of Manchester United’s last six games across all competitions is expected to leave the club this January window.
He is believed to be out of favour under Ruben Amorim and, according to the UK publication, Mirror, Rashford has been in talks over an initial loan move to join AC Milan.
The player has also admitted he is ready for a “new challenge.” As a result, Barcelona, according to Spanish news outlet, Sport, have ‘entered the bidding’ for Rashford after sporting director Deco decided a move would be viable.
It is noted that Barcelona would need to ‘generate some salary space’ in order to complete the deal, but those funds could be generated by the departure of Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo or Ansu Fati.
An emotional Rashford reportedly remarked: “When I leave it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.
“If I know that a situation is already bad, I’m not going to make it worse. I’ve seen how other players have left in the past and I don’t want to be that person. When I leave, I’ll make a statement and it will be from me.”

Kelechi Iheanacho heading to Egypt

As the January transfer window in Europe is beginning to bubble, there are speculations that Super Eagles player, Kelechi Iheanacho may be heading back to Africa to join Egyptian giants Al Ahly.
The record African champions, according to the Egyptian publication, Kingfut, are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing the former Manchester City and Leicester striker Kelechi Iheanacho.
Kelechi Iheanacho, who joined Sevilla on a free transfer last summer following the expiration of his Leicester City contract, has struggled to make an impact in La Liga.
The Nigerian forward has failed to score or assist in nine league appearances this season, pushing Sevilla to seek a loan move during the January transfer window with an option to buy.
While several English clubs have expressed interest in Iheanacho, the 28-year-old is also reportedly attracting interest from Greece, Turkey, and the USA.
However, according to English outlet Express, Al Ahly have emerged as a contender for his signature as a possible replacement for South African forward Percy Tau, as the Cairo powerhouse looks to bolster their attacking options ahead of the summer’s Club World Cup in USA.
Kelechi Iheanacho has previously featured in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as well as the two previous AFCON championships for Nigeria.
In addition to his experience at the highest level with both Manchester City and Leicester City, the forward could possibly be a difference-maker for the African champions.
If the rumours are anything to go by, negotiations will be expected to intensify in the coming weeks as Sevilla seeks to offload the striker, and Al Ahly will be aiming to capitalize on this opportunity to bring a seasoned forward into their ranks.
