Ruben Amorim has made his feelings clear on Manchester United failing to complete a signing on transfer deadline day.

The Portuguese boss has welcomed two new additions in the window, with left wing-back Patrick Dorgu signing from Lecce and young centre-back Ayden Heaven joining from Arsenal.

A third player, Paraguayan left-back Diego Leon, has agreed to move to Old Trafford in the summer once he turns 18.

But despite United loaning out Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa on Sunday, the club have elected not to replace him on deadline day.

Amorim now has only four senior attackers available for selection - strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, and wingers Amad and Alejandro Garnacho.

According to the Manchester Evening News, United were not able to do any major business due to PSR concerns, amid reports that they decided not to pay a £5 million loan fee to bring in Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich.

Club sources are said to be insistent that Amorim is 'pleased' with the winter business completed by the club, despite no forwards or central midfielders - long believed among fans to be two problem positions for United - being brought in.

It is added that the club believe Leon and Heaven, both 18, as well as Dorgu, 21, are 'high-profile recruits for the long-term who have not commanded high fees'.

They are also wanting to prioritise summer recruitment and did not want to complete a 'stop-gap or short-term' signing.

Amorim warned at the beginning at the window that United would not be able to bring players in without allowing players to leave - which they did at least do in moving on Antony to Real Betis and Rashford to Villa.

Speaking in December, he said: "We don't have that possibility in January [to sign players]. You know the situation better than I [do].

"It's not the case that I am arriving here and I can spend a lot of money, changing all the team," he added. "You know the situation so it's not a point to talk about it."
