Ruben Amorim will be pleased that his Manchester United side has begun to show signs of form, winning two of their last three games in the Premier League. Furthermore, summer striker signing Benjamin Sesko has found his shooting boots, scoring in the previous two league games.
It was also a positive to see an impressive goalkeeping performance from Senne Lammens in Man United’s last game, after the last few years of mediocre goalkeeping from Andre Onana. However, reports have said that the Red Devils could still add another goalkeeper with more experience in January.
Furthermore, the central midfield position has been a big area of concern for Man United, with Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo struggling for form. The Red Devils have been linked to expensive Premier League midfielders Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton, but a January move for them is less likely due to club fee demands. They could instead opt to sign someone on loan for the remainder of the season.
ManchesterWorld decided to put together a dream starting XI of how the Man United team could look after the January transfer window.
1. GK - Emi Martinez (Aston Villa)

2. CB - Lisandro Martinez
Martinez looks set to return from his ACL injury in the near future, so he could slot back into Amorim's starting XI on a regular basis. | Manchester United via Getty Images
3. CB - Matthijs De Ligt
De Ligt has been arguably Man United's best player so far this season, with the Dutchman becoming a reliable option for Amorim each and every week. | Manchester United via Getty Images
4. CB - Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich)
Man United have been linked to signing the Bayern defender whose contract is due to expire at the end of the season. He is yet to extend his deal, and so Bayern could sell him on the cheap in January instead. | Getty Images
