• Manager says recruitment and team needs to improve
• Return of Luke Shaw and Mason Mount unknown

Ruben Amorim believes ­Manchester United employees made ­redundant are “paying the price” for poor on‑field performance and that recruitment has to improve to address the problem.

Omar Berrada, United’s chief ­exe­cutive, confirmed on Monday that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is to cut up to another 200 jobs after 250 people were made unemployed last year. Amorim was asked how the ­remaining staff and fans could be confident this will help the club to prosper.
