Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has admitted that he's "fighting for his job" in the second half of the season while accepting that the club has taken "a risk" with their approach in the January transfer window.

Amorim could mix things up further by moving the Dutchman to the central centre-back position and Maguire to the left. Maguire has experience playing as the left-sided defender in a three for England and Hull City but he is more of a ball-carrying centre-back than a passer.

The major concern that Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim displayed over defender Lisandro Martinez has proven to, unfortunately, be correct. The Red Devils suffered their second Premier League loss in four domestic outings over the weekend as Jean-Phillippe Mateta scored twice to seal a 2-0 Crystal Palace win at Old Trafford.
