“Removed from the squad”: Amorim has already taken ruthless call after seeing big-money summer signing in action – report

The Portuguese’s training sessions have shown that he will be sticking to his favoured 3-4-3 formation, which means playing with three at the back.

Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinezare all sidelined and for now, the ex-Sporting Lisbon boss seems to be putting his faith in Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw, both of whom only recently returned from a long-term injury.

The Frenchman arrived in the summer and was incidentally, the Red Devils’ costliest buy in the last transfer window but unfortunately suffered an injury in pre-season.
