Amorim declares two 'untouchables' as Manchester United prepare for January overhaul

Manchester United are reportedly open to offers for the majority of their squad in the upcoming January transfer window, with only two players deemed 'untouchable' by new manager Ruben Amorim.

Summer signing Leny Yoro, who joined for £52 million under previous manager Erik ten Hag, is one of the protected assets. The other player safe from potential transfers is breakout star Amad Diallo, who is close to signing a new long-term contract with the club.

This ruthless approach comes as Manchester United seek to raise funds for new signings, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe's recent investment seemingly prompting a significant overhaul of the squad. Surprisingly, previously untouchable young stars Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho are now reportedly available for the right price, with Garnacho linked to a return to Atletico Madrid and Chelsea expressing interest in Mainoo.

The decision to make most of the squad available for transfer underscores Amorim's determination to reshape the team according to his vision, with the Portuguese manager insisting on having the "final word" on all transfer dealings.

As the January window approaches, Manchester United fans can expect significant changes at Old Trafford, with Amorim looking to put his stamp on the squad and potentially bring in new faces to suit his tactical approach.
