'Deal agreed' - Man Utd man set to join Premier League rivals this summer after two years at Old Trafford

Manchester United club doctor Jim Moxon is set to join Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion when he leaves Old Trafford this summer - according to reports.

The former Liverpool man has spent two years with the Red Devils but is set to depart at the end of the season, and has already been offered a new role by the Seagulls. That is according to a report from Sussex World. Last week it was reported by The Athletic that United’s head of medical services Gary O’Driscoll was also set to leave the club after just 18 months.

United have battled plenty of injuries this term and have a number of players who have missed international duty as they continue their recoveries at Carrington.

Amorim on using international break to get players back

United did welcome Mason Mount back into the matchday squad for the 3-0 win at Leicester City on Sunday evening but suffered another blow during the game as young defender Ayden Heaven was taken off early in the second half. The likes of Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw and Amad Diallo but are all expected back before the end of the season.

Discussing plans for the international break, Amorim said: "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]."

He added: "Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, all these players we are going to try to bring that [fitness]. 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."

What next for United?

The FA Cup takes centre stage the first weekend after international break, with the Red Devils not returning until the a midweek Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest on April 1. They then have the small matter of a Manchester derby at Old Trafford in their next game.

While the Red Devils have battled injury problems, Bruno Fernandes has continued to inspire for the Red Devils. He will be in action for Portugal over the coming week and asked if the midfielder maybe needed a break, Amorim said: "No, I don't feel that in Bruno [Fernandes]. He's a special guy in that aspect. He's always ready. He can recover quite well. I don't know [about] the future. I am just reading what the performance department tell me [about the numbers] and then what I see in the game. So I always see a Bruno that is dangerous, and one Bruno that can recover in every situation. So he's going to stay there."
