**Rob Dawson**
Ruben Amorim says De Ligt and Maguire are still out and won't play against Aston Villa on Sunday. Amad and Mbeumo away at AFCON and Casemiro is suspended. No new injury worries.
**Amorim making a clear distinction around the issue of the Kobbie Mainoo t-shirt: "It's not Kobbie who wore the t-shirt. He's going to play if he's the right guy. I'm not doing something \[different\] with Kobbie because someone in his family is doing something."**
**Simon Stone**
Ruben Amorim confirms Harry Maguire and Matthijs De Ligt still out for trip to Aston Villa on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim on Kobbie Mainoo: "Not Kobbie who wear the T-shirt. He will play if we feel he is the right guy. I am not going to do something to Kobbie because of something his family did."
**Ruben Amorim on criticism of his criticism of Harry Amass and Chido Obi: "Feeling of entitlement in our club. Sometimes difficult words are for the kids. You don’t need accolades in every situation."**
Ruben Amorim calls Bruno Fernandes 'special' but he has to answer questions on his interview this week re his hurt and also criticism others don't care as much as him.
**Chris Wheeler**
Amorim says no players have recovered for Villa on Sunday so Maguire and De Ligt still out, in addition to Mazraoui, Amad and Mbeumo being at Afcon and Casemiro suspended
Amorim says Kobbie Mainoo won’t face any action over his half-brother wearing a Free Kobbie T-shirt. ‘It was not Kobbie wearing the T-shirt. I’m not going to do something to Kobbie because someone in his family is doing something.’
Amorim on Mainoo brother’s T-shirt and Chido & Amass having a dig at him on social media: ‘They feel entitlement and then they have legends of the club saying, 'if you don’t play then leave – no let’s stay and fight and overcome. We have to fight against this feeling.’

spoke his feelings. I think when I watch Bruno training and playing he is a special character, the numbers and amount of games prove he is a different player.*
# The leadership group and Mainoo
>*It continues a little bit of everything on my desk, every problem at the football club is on my desk. It will take time. Kobbie’s job is to train and play, I felt he did really well in this game.*
# On academy comments
>*I think the feeling a little bit of entitled one we have in our club, sometimes strong words is not bad words, difficult moments are not bad for the kids. We don’t need always to be accolades for every situation. You guys talk about players who speak against clubs because you feel entitlement, then you have legends so if you don’t play, leave because everyone is wrong. No, stay and fight, I have the feeling we need to fight against this feeling. I’m the first one to say I’m failing. Outside the pitch I guarantee I’m not failing this club. We forget the players what it means to play for Man United, we as a club forget sometimes who we are. It’s the environment, the kids feel entitled and free to respond to the manager with a picture. My office is open but nobody is coming to me. We need to change as a club. I didn’t say anything wrong, I spoke about how the luck of playing for Man United. Sometimes you play for Man United and see different realities and you understand football can be so different. That was my point.*
# On Ferguson and the stresses of the job
>*He understands football more, especially English football, I don’t think we’ll take that long to win the league \[ten years\]. I don’t know which manager will be here, but I truly believe we can fight for the title in the next years.*
>*In leadership, it’s the moment of the club, you have to fight all the fights. We are improving as a team, as a group, we going to improve in these small things. That will make a difference even to suffer goals, if we are a different group we will suffer less goals.*
