Amorim was asked about the long-term futures of Marcus Rashford and Antony, who are currently impressing out on loan.
Rashford's form for Aston Villa has seen him return to the England squad under Thomas Tuchel. His first game after the international break saw him break his duck for Unai Emery's side - as his double over Preston sent Villa to the FA Cup semi-finals.
Antony, meanwhile, has four goals and four assists for Spanish side Real Betis, with team-mate Isco joking the club need to crowdfund to raise enough money to extend that loan deal.
"I know Rashford really well. Everyone knows the talent that he has," said Amorim.
"I already spoke about that: he's a top player if he wants. So I'm not surprised [he is doing well at Aston Villa].
"It's the same with Antony. It's a good thing we see our players doing well on loan in a different context. That can happen, it's a good sign for the club."
Pushed further on whether the door is open for the pair to return, Amorim remained coy: "Guys let's focus on the game. We are happy with the players who are out on loan. I am planning the future, but I don't want to talk about the future."
Asked if Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton - who are all out of contract at the end of the season - could leave United this summer, Amorim said: "We will see. We are thinking about next season but we a have a lot of things to do.
"We know Europa League can change a lot of things at the club. We are focused on the present, not just the future."
Amorim was also asked on an injury status report for Amad Diallo, who suffered ankle ligament damage during a February training session.
"I think he's going to play this season, but I don't know when," said Amorim. "We are really confident on that.
