Amorim on Man Utd’s injury list
Things are looking positive for Manchester United as they have an almost full selection of players to choose from today.
“Onana is ready to play like last week, so we will see in the game who is going to be keeper,” Ruben Amorim said when asked which players are absent.
“Licha [Lisandro Martinez] is out, Nous [Noussair Mazraoui] is out. The rest of the guys are fit and ready to play.”

Will Robinson or Sessegnon play?
The doubts about Antonee Robinson and Ryan Sessegnon’s fitness remains though Marco Silva did give some insights into his players.
“We have to wait and see,” Silva said when asked if either could play today. “We just finished one session now, we are going to have another one.
“Different situations – Robinson is coming back from a surgery, he’s training with the team but you have to take a decision.
“And Sessegnon, he felt something the last friendly game against Eintracht. We didn’t want to take a risk last week, let’s see how he is going to be in the last session before the game, and then we are going to decide.
“Of course, they are both different, if you have Robinson or Sessegnon, then you have a more offensive dynamic and mobility on the left-hand side.”

Harry Maguire reveals why he has always remained devoted to Man United
There was a certain simplicity to Manchester United’s first bit of business in 2025. They have spent more than £200m in the summer. They are still trying to offload players who want to leave Old Trafford.
But there was one who was keen to stay, but given no say in the matter. On 3 January, United triggered the clause to keep Harry Maguire for a further season.
It was a symbolic decision and proof of a personal renaissance. Maguire could have joined West Ham in 2023, but showed his stubbornness by fighting for his place.

Marco Silva ready for the ‘big one’
Fulham boss Marco Silva says today’s match against Manchester United is a ‘big one’ and explained what he is expecting from Ruben Amorim’s side.
“Big one,” Silva said of Sunday’s meeting at the Cottage. “We are playing against a great side. I know that last season was not what they wanted. Definitely, was below their standards, below the size of the club and all that stuff, [but] they are the first ones to recognise that.
“Last season, they had a lot of great players. This season, they kept almost all of them. And until now, they have been able to spend heavily in the market on some players.
“The club is Man United, a club that already spent more than £200m, and probably are going to spend more. It’s going to be a big clash, in my opinion, great game for us.
“Very important for us, like it’s very important for Man United, and it’s going to be another very demanding Premier League game, like normal.”

Neville urges Manchester United to address ‘glaring issue’
“There’s a glaring issue that Man United cannot ignore and it is the fact they need to find a goalkeeper,” Neville said on Sky Sports. “They have to.
“I’m unequivocal on that because I had an experience with Man Utd for 20 years where there were two big periods of seven or eight years with Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar.
“In between, we had seven or eight goalkeepers in a six, seven, eight-year period and it is really unsettling when you haven’t got a dominant No 1, who is dominant in the air, who owns his six-yard box, comes and punches everything and makes a lot of saves to win you points when your defenders make mistakes.”
