Ruben Amorim insisted that despite his difficult start as Manchester United manager, his side must target winning the Europa League after booking their last-16 spot with a 2-0 victory at Steaua Bucharest on Thursday.

Amorim's United feels like a pencil sketch of a grander planned work - there are signs of progress but huge improvements are needed

Ruben Amorim has admitted Manchester United need a player like Marcus Rashford but says the forward “has to change” and meet his standards to have a future with the club. Seven weeks have passed since Rashford last played for the Red Devils and his wait continues.

Manchester United are close to completing a deal for Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu. United had one bid for the Denmark international turned down last week but have remained in negotiations for the 20-year-old and believe it is a matter of time before he is cleared to have a medical.

Manchester United have reached a broad agreement with Lecce for the transfer of Patrick Dorgu for €30million (£25.2m) plus €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons. The Serie A side had been holding out for €40m (£33.6m) but negotiations have brought the figure to below United’s aim of a total £30m package with the add-ons a split of both simple bonuses and others that are more difficult to achieve.
