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.”

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.”

Manchester United have put their entire squad up for sale and will listen to offers for every player with Arsenal weighing up a move for Nico Williams as Liverpool try and iron out Trent Alexandre Arnold’s future

According to the  UK outlet, Mirror, Manchester United are keen to bring in some new faces with Ruben Amorim now at the helm but the focus at Old Trafford is likely to centre around exits and the club is willing to listen to offers for every member of the squad as the overhaul begins.
