Amorim rules out signing free agents despite injury crisis
Manchester United has been dealing with a wave of injuries, which left only Victor Lindelöf from the senior squad on the bench for their match against Tottenham. However, head coach Rúben Amorim is determined to manage the situation without external reinforcements.
Details: Unlike his Arsenal counterpart Mikel Arteta, Amorim has made it clear that United will not turn to free agents to cover squad shortages. Instead, he sees the crisis as an opportunity for academy players to step up and prove themselves.
Quote: “No, no. That’s not our idea. We have young players, we work with them, and as a club, we must focus on that. When you go through periods with a lot of injuries, you need to use young players.
If you don’t, there is no room for them to develop and show what they can do. In the future, we must focus on youth because that is the history of our club and the reality of our situation,” Amorim said.
