Manchester United have hired athletics guru Harry Marra as they seek to sharpen up the players’ fitness and sprinting technique

Ruben Amorim called out a number of underperforming Manchester United players after they left it late to secure a hard-fought victory over Southampton.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim dropped a big hint that he could field a rotated team against Southampton. On Sunday, Southampton were expected to rest some key players for the FA Cup match against Swansea. Though they didn't rotate much, they were considered as the heavy favourites to win the weekend's game.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe was in attendance at Old Trafford and crossed paths with Ruben Amorim as Man Utd beat Southampton 3-1.

Andre Onana has been ‘failed’ by his Manchester United teammates and Ruben Amorim, and signing a new goalkeeper won’t improve the team. That is the opinion of former Manchester City and England keeper Joe Hart, who admits he feels sympathy for the United No.1.

Amorim would like United to build up with a genuine three at the back, rather than the four it has been when protection is the first priority. At Anfield, United took the lead because Martinez sensed a moment to press high, snapping into Mohamed Salah to win the ball and then stay up to receive Fernandes’ slipped pass.

Both during and after the game against Southampton on Thursday night, many fans suggested that United should give Amad the iconic number 7 shirt, which is currently worn by Mason Mount. Here's what fans have been saying on social media regarding Amad's shirt number.
