Gary Neville says Ruben Amorim will need two or three transfer windows to build a squad at Manchester United that can play his system.

United are 15th in the table after Sunday's defeat at Tottenham ensured Amorim has secured just four wins from his first 14 Premier League games in charge.

Amorim wanted to delay his appointment at Old Trafford until the summer, reluctant to leave Sporting mid-season after Erik ten Hag's sacking, but was told it was now or never.

Results have deteriorated further under Amorim, but he is adamant that he will stick to his three-at-the-back system despite having limited time on the training ground to implement his ideas.
