Manchester United are preparing to make sales and loan deals as the January transfer window progresses.
Ruben Amorim has endured a tough start since becoming United’s head coach in November.
The 39-year-old has recorded just four wins in his first 11 games in charge.
Amorim is attempting to overhaul the system at Old Trafford, which has exposed several issues.
He has repeatedly pointed out that his limited time on the training ground with the squad has contributed to these struggles.
Transfers are vital for Amorim, who has made it clear United must offload players to fund new arrivals.
High-profile stars like Marcus Rashford and Casemiro have been linked with potential mid-season exits.
However, Amorim is also considering loan departures for some of United’s emerging talents.

According to ManchesterWorld, United are prioritising loan moves for two academy prospects after receiving Amorim’s approval.
These players are Harry Amass and Dan Gore.
The club believes the pair will ‘benefit greatly’ from regular first-team football for the rest of the season.
Gore previously had a loan spell disrupted by injury but is now regaining form with the U21s.
Meanwhile, Amass was close to making his senior debut earlier this season under Erik ten Hag.
However, the managerial change at United shifted the trajectory, and Amorim’s system has since reduced their first-team chances.
Amorim’s setup places heavy responsibility on the wingbacks, and he is already seeking upgrades in that area.
This has limited opportunities for younger players like Amass to break through at United.
Amass is expected to dip into the EFL for a season to improve his physicality, whilst gaining more experience.
Despite Amorim’s reputation for promoting youth at Sporting, he has yet to fully integrate academy players at Carrington.
Godwill Kukonki remains the only academy talent to feature on the bench since Amorim’s arrival.
Amorim may be prioritising familiarity with the first-team squad before introducing younger prospects.
Alternatively, he could be hesitant to involve academy players in a squad that is currently struggling for stability.
That approach could evolve as the season unfolds, depending on United’s form.
Promising youngsters, like Chido Obi Martin, may sense an opportunity to break through as first-team forwards continue to falter.
It remains to be seen how Amorim will use the academy long-term, but for now, loaning these players out appears the right call.
