"Manchester United have no plans to bring in a new midfielder on Deadline Day. The Red Devils had been linked with Brighton and Hove Albion star Carlos Baleba earlier in the window, with the possibility that Kobbie Mainoo would leave the club. It now appears Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens will complete their business, and Ruben Amorim will again be tasked with giving it his best shot with the crop available."
"However, according to MailSport, Man United are not looking at a new midfielder on Deadline Day, despite injuries sustained by Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha in the win over Scott Parker's side. Both players were substituted in the 3-2 victory at Old Trafford, with Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte and Mainoo all expected to feature prominently in the centre of the pitch until January at least."
"Mainoo has found it difficult to nail down a place under Amorim, with captain Fernandes often preferred by the Portuguese head coach. The 40-year-old spoke about Mainoo's request to leave at the weekend, stating the 20-year-old must work even harder. "I want Kobbie to stay. He needs to fight for his place, and we need Kobbie," said the 40-year-old. "So that is not going to change. The rest, I don't know how it's going"
Manchester United are not pursuing a new midfielder on Deadline Day despite earlier links to Carlos Baleba. The club appears set to complete incoming business with goalkeeper Senne Lammens, leaving Ruben Amorim to work with the current squad. Recent results produced pressure, but a late Bruno Fernandes penalty eased tensions going into the international break. Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha suffered injuries and were substituted in the 3-2 win, yet Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo are expected to cover midfield roles until January. Amorim wants Mainoo to stay and fight for his place.
