Amorim needs to sort out transfer priorities

- JEREMY CROSS

THE transfer window has opened and given the problems facing Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, he might feel like throwing himself out of it.

It has taken Amorim less than six weeks to realise he has a major reconstruction job on his hands.

This will take time - a precious commodity in top-level football - but having appointed Amorim in November, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe must give the Portuguese all the backing he needs.

That starts with this month's window, when he needs signings who fit into the system he's so obsessed with.
