Manchester United will host Newcastle United in a key match of the 18th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season at Old Trafford. With the winter transfer window approaching, Amorim stated that they will strive to bring in suitable and excellent players, but will also continue to explore the potential of their existing squad.
Manchester United lost 1-2 to Aston Villa in their last key match, thanks to a penalty goal from Cunha. After a run of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 games, United currently sit 7th in the league table with 26 points.
As for Newcastle United, Eddie Howe's team is currently ranked 11th in the standings with 23 points. In the last round of the Premier League, they drew 2-2 with Chelsea.
When asked about Maguire and Casemiro's future at the club, Manchester United manager Amorin said, "No decisions have been made yet, we still have a lot to do. We need to figure out what will happen next season because we need to know if there will be European competitions. I'm very happy with them, but I don't know what the future holds, so we'll see how things are at the end of the season and where we end up before making a decision."
“We are indeed facing some difficulties right now, but the club has its own plans. If we have the opportunity to bring in a player we believe can represent the future of the club, then he will come. If not, we still have Jack Fletcher and Shea Lassie. In three weeks, Diallo, Mazraoui, and Mbomo will all be back, and Bruno Fernandes and Kobe Maynu will also return, so we'll see how things go.”
In addition, Amorim said, "When I look at this team, I think that with the squad at its best, I need to tap into more of the talent from this group of players, so I'm focused on that right now."
"If we can bring in some great players, we'll sign them in January. If not, I think we'll save the funds for the summer."
