'Man Utd must avoid recruitment mistakes of the past'

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim believes avoiding the kind of expensive mistakes the club has made in the transfer market is the key to halting the English giants' decline.

The Portuguese coach has been unable to turn around United's miserable season since taking charge in November, with the Red Devils sitting 15th in the Premier League.

That is despite spending over £600 million ($760 million) in just over two years on new players under his predecessor Erik ten Hag.

Amorim had limited funds to work with in the January transfer window.

Danish defender Patrick Dorgu was his only signing as budgets at Old Trafford have been slashed across the board.

The club announced on Monday that they expect up to 200 fresh redundancies as part of a "transformation plan" to improve stability.

Amorim admitted on Tuesday that those losing their jobs had paid the price for the club's lack of on-field success in recent years and put poor recruitment at the heart of the problem.
