What are Ruben’s plans for the international break?

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has detailed his plans for the international break.

A whole host of United players are set to jet off across the next few days, with March’s fixtures set to take away a number of first-team players from Carrington.

With the Reds in a decent run of form as of late, the boss will be hoping for no more injuries upon their return, especially with our sights set on a clash with Nottingham Forest on 1 April.

So what is the 40-year-old planning? And does Amorim expect some level of down time over the next two weeks?

“For the coaches it is difficult to to have time off,” began the United head coach in his post-match press conference.

“We are going to divide the group. Some of the players like Mason Mount and Toby [Collyer], they have to work on their fitness.

“We have to recover players to help [them all].”

The Reds have been hamstrung by injuries in recent months with Leny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire just three defensive options who have been sidelined as of late.

Mason Mount made the bench against the Foxes on Sunday evening and, given Ruben’s admiration for the former Chelsea man, he could soon stake a claim.

Amad is also a player who has been touted for a potential early return, but who else is the boss keeping a keen eye on?

“Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, all these players we are going to try to bring that [fitness],” added Amorim.

“The players [must make] a final push for two competitions. Some of the players are going to rest more days than usual.

“So we are going to divide and give different things for different players and try to be ready for the the final two months.”
