Manchester United have hired world-renowned track and field coach Harry Marra as a consultant help the club's players. The 78-year-old has been working at the club's Carrington training base to help the squad adapt to manager Ruben Amorim 's tactics.

Carlton Cole says Sir Jim Ratcliffe needs to tell Ruben Amorim to ‘shut his mouth’ as he is ‘killing’ Marcus Rashford and his price tag by incessantly criticising the forward in public. Rashford revealed that he was seeking a ‘new challenge’ away from Old Trafford after being left out of last month’s Manchester derby and the attacker’s future has been the subject of intense speculation this January.

Ruben Amorim is set to complete his first Manchester United signing in the final days of the January transfer window. United are eager to add both a wing-back and a forward to their side before deadline day and will take a major step forward with an agreement in place for Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu to join the club.
