Man Utd now rivalling Chelsea in race to sign Serie A defender in January

Manchester United are now racing Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to sign a Serie A defender for Ruben Amorim in the January transfer window.

Amorim drops fresh Fernandes injury update

It’s been a frantic month for Man United, but also a fairly successful one. They’ve been far more difficult to beat in the Premier League in the last 12 games, with the exception of claiming their place in Aston Villa’s impressive run of victories, and Ruben Amorim is – by his own admission – learning to adapt on the job.

A stubborn Boxing Day win over Newcastle United wasn’t the most convincing, but it proved that the Red Devils are capable of picking up three points even when they’re not at their best. And they even managed to do so without Bruno Fernandes.

The club captain is currently sidelined with a rare injury and whilst Amorim revealed that he’s champing at the bit to return, United will be without their star man against Wolverhampton Wanderers this evening.

The Man United boss revealed: “No chance he is going to play against Wolves. No chance. You can write that.”

“He cannot be that guy that (when he) is not playing, he’s not talking and speaking,” boss Amorim said. “He’s always speaking. That’s why he’s the captain. He has bad things sometimes, the way moves his arms, but he has a lot of good things.
