Ruben Amorim has yet to make his first marquee signing as Red Devils boss. However, the manager did admit towards the turn of the year that the club would try to do something in the winter window.
“When the window is open, we can try to do something and we will try to do something. But I think, in the next weeks, we are going to have more time to train and we can improve, that’s the only way.
“We had a lot of games without training, now we will have more space to grow. You can see that the context is worse in this moment, as we had a lot of losses, so we have to manage everything.”
When asked on which positions in the squad he’d like to bolster, the boss replied: “I will keep that to myself. But we’ll try to do something.”
A plethora of players have been linked with moves to Old Trafford in recent weeks, including striker Randal Kolo Muani, who now looks set to join Juventus over a move to the Premier League.
Elsewhere, United are said to be eyeing goalkeeper Zion Suzuki once again after he turned down a move to Manchester in 2023 under Erik ten Hag. Talks have been held over a new left-back, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Nuno Mendes seemingly a target after working under Amorim at Sporting CP.
There may well be a number of departures in January, too. Marcus Rashford’s future has been a hot topic of conversation, whereas Antony is also being linked with a move away.
Another attacker who has been getting more game time than Rashford and Antony is Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine was linked with the likes of Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona last month, however, he appears to have an agreement with another European side.
