Goodwin, 44, was admitted to hospital last Thursday and missed United's 4-0 Scottish Premiership win at Kilmarnock on Saturday. Assistant Lee Sharp took charge of the team at Rugby Park and will do so again for United's midweek trip to play Motherwell. Sharp has stated that Goodwin is out of hospital and back home recovering, but is waiting on direction from the doctors to determine his next steps. Sharp also confirmed that Goodwin would be back just now if he was allowed.
The club is closing in on a move to bring former Dundee midfielder Lyall Cameron to Tannadice on loan from Rangers. United secured a convincing 4-0 win over Kilmarnock, with Sharp's temporary leadership proving successful. The team will look to continue their winning form in the coming weeks, with the club's focus on securing Cameron's loan deal suggesting they are committed to strengthening their squad.
