Ruben Amorim criticised United’s mentality after they let a lead slip in a 1-1 draw at Fulham. United went ahead via Muniz’s own goal but conceded just 94 seconds later when Smith Rowe struck for the hosts.

Scott McTominay has personally called Rasmus Hojlund to convince him to join Napoli. United are reportedly open to a €5m loan with €40m buy clause, with Hojlund exiled by Amorim and also on AC Milan’s radar. Hojlund has been excluded from United’s squads this season, making a move likely. McTominay, now thriving at Napoli, is pushing his former teammate toward Italy. United view offloading Hojlund as practical given Benjamin Sesko’s arrival and Amorim’s ruthless “bomb squad” approach.

Fernandes remains untouchable in Amorim’s setup, with Mount providing tactical flexibility. Mainoo’s patience and development will be tested as he continues battling for a place in United’s midfield hierarchy.

Real Betis will make a fresh bid for Antony within 24 hours after United rejected an earlier loan proposal. The £85m signing has been exiled under Amorim and faces uncertainty with the deadline looming. Antony enjoyed a strong Betis loan last season but is stuck in Amorim’s “bomb squad” at United. Betis are pressing for a permanent deal, while United weigh recovering a transfer fee for one of their costliest flops.

Andre Onana is in line to return for United against Fulham after Altay Bayindir’s costly Arsenal error. Amorim has kept selection cryptic, with Belgian prospect Senne Lammens also being pursued in a £17m move that could further squeeze Bayindir’s role. Onana’s summer injury raised doubts over his reliability, but United remain without a new starter. Amorim may reinstate him to regain stability while weighing whether Lammens’ arrival will provide long-term competition. Bayindir’s future looks bleak if the Belgian joins.
