Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is reportedly maintaining a professional distance from his players, three months since joining the club.

Amorim, 40, has endured a difficult start to life at Old Trafford since arriving from Sporting Lisbon in November, losing eight of his first 20 games in charge.

This has included United suffering defeats in five of their past six Premier League home matches to leave the club languishing in 13th place in the top flight and 14 points off the top four.

Amorim has been wedded to his preferred 3-4-3 system at Old Trafford, but he is yet to positively stamp his impact on United, although the Red Devils are in the fifth round of the FA Cup and automatically qualified for the Europa League last-16.
