Ruben Amorim says Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt are out of Man Utd's Boxing Day clash with Newcastle

'Kobbie is going to return faster than Bruno but not for this game. I don’t want to say (on Bruno). I have an idea but let's see. We will find solutions to play.'

On Maguire & De Ligt: 'We are still working with them. They are not available for this one, let’s see for the next one.

'I trust in my players. I’m confident that we can win any game. Of course, we have some problems but I believe in the team.'

'It’s imposible to replace Bruno, but I said that this morning to the team. We need to take the good thing, if there is a good thing, a lot of people need to step up. We cannot rely on one guy for everything.'

Amorim on Jack Fletcher & Shea Lacey making their debuts off the bench v Villa: 'The behaviour they showed during these weeks is really good. I don’t have that feeling that (they think) "I’m a little bit different because I played for Man Utd".'

Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo ManUtd injury update from Ruben Amorim: "Not for this game. They are recovering and it won't take a lot of time. KM will return faster than Bruno." Amorim says he doesn't want to say how long Bruno Fernandes will be out for: "I have an idea. Let’s see." Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire still out.

Ruben Amorim still backing ManUtd to get positive results even with so many injuries: "We have some problems but I believe in this team. I trust my players."

# Detailed Quotes

# United team news

>*No, not for this game \[Newcastle\], they are recovering. I don’t think it will take a lot of time, I think Kobbie will return faster than Bruno. I don’t want to say. I have an idea, of course, but let’s see. We have other players, we need to maybe see different ways of playing. I think Jack Fletcher did a very good job, and that’s why when we have these opportunities, we need to give space to guys like Jack and the other ones.*

>*We are still working with them \[Maguire and De Ligt\] They are not available for this one, but let’s see for the next one.*

# Are you confident?

>*I am confident we can win any game. Of course, we have some problems but I believe in the team even without many players in this moment I believe in the team and I believe that we can win any game. Of course, it is more difficult but, again, I trust in my players and if we are really focused in the game, we can win.*

# Fletcher and Lacey reaction to debuts

>*They are normal, they are good kids. The behaviour they have shown during this week are really good. I don't have the feeling that they were a little bit different because I played them for Manchester United. No, they are really focused, they are preparing for the game and they believe that they can play. That is a good feeling, so nothing different to what I saw in the last few weeks.*

# How do you replace Fernandes?

>*It is impossible to replace Bruno but I say that this morning to the team, I think we need to take the good thing if there is a good thing on that, that a lot of people need to step up. It is not just the creation, it is every set piece he is the guy who is organising the team and that is a good opportunity for everyone to step up and understand that we can't rely on one player for everything. Sometimes we rely on Bruno in the organisation, in the creation. We lost Bruno in set pieces we lost Bryan (Mbeumo) in those set pieces so this is massive for the team but it is an opportunity for players to step up and to show the leadership we need in the team.*

# What do you lose on the pitch without Fernandes?

>*Everything. Everything because he understands every
