""I was a football player," he said. "I understand everything, and I want to help my players in every situation. "I understand the frustration of some players, seeing the World Cup is there. I know what it means. "But the first thing is that the club comes first. If I can help the club and the players, I will be happy. If not I have to think about the team.""
"Both Mainoo and Zirkzee could profit from the injury to striker Benjamin Sesko and the departures of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo to the Africa Cup of Nations next month. That is without the strange case of Matheus Cunha, who pulled out of a planned appearance to switch on the Altrincham Christmas lights on Saturday with an injury a club source described as "minor"."
Ruben Amorim has not ruled out Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee leaving in January to seek regular game time ahead of next summer's World Cup. Both players have started no Premier League games this season and logged under 100 top-flight minutes, leading to lost international spots with England and the Netherlands. Amorim expresses sympathy for their frustration but emphasizes that club interests come first when deciding on any moves. Potential openings could arise from Benjamin Sesko's injury and Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. Matheus Cunha missed a public appearance with an injury described as "minor". United sit on a five-game unbeaten run but have conceded late goals in recent draws, and Amorim remains cautious about declaring the earlier "storm" resolved.
