Manchester United are exploring their various options ahead of the January transfer window. Ruben Amorim would be interested in adding another player to his first-team squad if the right opportunity arises, while there is transfer interest in several stars.
There are some tough decisions to make as United weigh up their own needs for the remainder of the campaign with the development of their players. It means some youngsters could be sent out on loan for the second half of the season, while some could even be recalled from the loans they agreed in the summer.
With all that in mind, here is a look at the six deals we think United could potentially complete in the January transfer window.

2. Joshua Zirkzee - LOAN
Zirkzee is unhappy with his current lack of playing time and would be open to an exit in the January transfer window. It is understood he would be open to either a permanent or loan exit in an attempt to earn a place in the Netherlands squad for the World Cup. | Manchester United via Getty Images
3. Kobbie Mainoo - LOAN
Mainoo wants to play regularly and could ask to leave on loan again in the January window. He does not want to leave permanently. United are unlikely to sanction his exit and would only do so in the event they signed another top midfielder in the window. | Manchester United via Getty Images
4. Chido Obi - LOAN
Obi has performed well for the U21s this season but is still some way off the first-team picture. He could be allowed to leave on loan in January to aid his personal development. | Manchester United via Getty Images
