Ruben Amorim was asked about Kobbie Mainoo's Man United future on Friday - and his answer was music to the supporters' ears.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says he wants to keep Kobbie Mainoo amid transfer links with Chelsea. The 19-year-old is considered a key player at Old Trafford after emerging last season under the tutelage of Erik ten Hag.

Ruben Amorim has played down the prospect of Manchester United strengthening their squad in the January window but insisted that he wants to keep his best players following speculation that Kobbie Mainoo could leave Old Trafford.

With the exception of Altay Bayindir replacing Andre Onana in goal, Ruben Amorim must be feeling tempted to name an unchanged team for Sunday's FA Cup third round clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Ruben Amorim has insisted that Manchester United “need to improve recruitment” following several years of poor spending in the transfer market.

A prolific striker in Europe's top leagues has been served to United on a silver platter, according to reports.
