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.

Ruben Amorim says Manchester United job will be ‘really hard’ for rest of season - United languish 13th in the Premier League after losing 2-0 to Crystal Palace last weekend.

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.

Ruben Amorim wanted a new striker in January but the Man Utd head coach now has to instill confidence in the player he wants to back.
