Manchester United are busy reshaping their ranks as Ruben Amorim makes moves to embed his philosophy at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have initiated a January exit amid Amorim's desire to increase his options among the club's academy talent.

United have confirmed that 20-year-old forward Ethan Ennis has joined Doncaster Rovers on loan for the remainder of the season.

The starlet is the latest to clinch a temporary switch away from Old Trafford and will receive his first taste of senior football in League Two over the coming months.

Ennis expressed excitement about the new development, sharing: "Ever since I was informed that Grant [McCann] was interested in signing me, it was something I was really interested in.

"Then coming down, meeting the manager and the rest of the lads, I've found it really exciting. He thinks I can suit how the team plays, bring my qualities to the team and it go hand in hand. Hopefully it'll be a success."

Since swapping Liverpool for United at 16, Ennis hasn't graced the first team yet but boasts an impressive 10 goals from 15 shows for the under-21s this season.

His debut for Doncaster could potentially light up this weekend's FA Cup third-round tie against Championship strugglers Hull City.

While Ennis sets out to gain experience, United's scouting nets are cast wide as they reportedly eye Paris Saint-Germain outcast Randal Kolo-Muani among others to bolster their attacking options.

Amorim spoke out about potential transfers on Friday, insisting that the club's recruitment must improve amid pressure to spend this winter.

He said: "The first thing I think is... I don't remember to say clearly that I want new players.

"What I said is that sometimes the profile for this system is different, and the players came here with a different idea of how to play. So I don't remember saying that so clearly, that I want new players. What I said is that we need to improve recruitment.

"When we are targeting players, we need to be sure that they will cope with the demands. Sometimes, you have to bet a little bit.

"And what I also said is that we have to improve our academy, to bring young kids that fills the club in the right way, and also with that rules, we are able to do some business and have some money to invest in the team."

"Our idea is always to keep the best players and the players that we build for this club. But we know the position that the club is in at the moment, but we will see.

"I'm very happy, I like our players, especially the guys from our academy. My players are always my favourites.

"I really love my players. I want to keep my players, especially the talented ones. Like I said, it's a special moment in this club, it's a hard moment, but, of course, I'm really happy with Kobbie [Mainoo], he's improving, and also with Garna [Alejandro Garnacho]."
