The Red Devils reached the Premier League's midway point sixth in the standings and just three points behind Liverpool in the final Champions League spot, but there is a nagging feeling they should be doing better.

Tuesday's poor 1-1 home draw with rock-bottom Wolves was among United's missed opportunities, but Amorim said after that setback he remained “really confident” about how the second half of the season will unfold.

But the Portuguese has now suggested there will not be any major reinforcements this month, just two weeks on from saying “we will see” whether there would be any movement.

“The transfer window is not going to change,’ Amorim said. “We have no conversations in this moment to have any change in the squad.

“There's a process, there's an idea that is going to continue.
