Ruben Amorim hopes to bring “one or two great players” to Manchester United this summer, but admits that it will not even turn it into a candidate within the next couple of years.
Amrum is still in trouble to score at United after taking 22 points from 19 games, the latest of which were 1-0 at Nottingham.
Portuguese players know that improving the squad is very important if United have finished 13th to fill the difference for Manchester City on Sunday and other big players in the Premier League.
“Not only Manchester City but other teams, they are already in a place we need to take. I just want to focus on our strengths and use our club to bring one or two great players (inside.
“I can’t manage that, I know we won’t be the biggest rival of next year or two years.
“We’re doing a lot. Sometimes we have changed our players because they have to adapt to our new standards. We have changed a lot of staff, we have changed our things in the club.

I don’t get the time you have learned – amorim
The Premier League has changed with United and Tottenham over the past couple of years, the traditional members of the six big ones, now in the lower half, while players such as Forest, Aston Villa and Newcastle, of course support Saudi financial influence, are moving in the opposite direction.
“Of course the Premier League is very different,” he added. People say Sir Alex Ferguson has taken two or three times to get something… it’s completely different nowadays. The pressures are different. It doesn’t matter how much the context is, we have to be there.

no sympathy for the struggle of the city
City have also had problems this season and their hopes for the fifth consecutive title have been evacuated a long time ago. But Amrum had no sympathy for Pep Guardiola and CO.
“I’m more focused on our problems; I think we have bigger problems at Manchester City,” he said.
“They had a problem in the run (when Christmas’s surround) and they may have the best coach in the world,” he said. They have the main players. It will be a difficult game.
“I’m so focused on improving my team, I don’t focus on improving the cities.
