‌Amorim’s task will be made even more difficult by several of his key players departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. But times of difficulty can bring positive change, which Amorim will hope can be the case. ‌The January transfer window is now just over a week away, giving the United hierarchy a chance to freshen up their squad.

Ugarte has been similarly disappointing since his own £42m move from PSG in the same window, which could see both players transfer listed.
