Ruben Amorim is hoping that he can add to his squad in January to help boost Man United’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League. They need a bounce back, as they drew to a struggling Wolves side last time out.
United’s midfield is in desperate need of improvement, and they have been linked to spending big on the likes of Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and more, and could opt to make a splash in January to help improve their holding midfield position to play alongside Bruno Fernandes.
Furthermore, they are also in need of a more reliable number nine, as Benjamin Sesko has struggled to score regularly in recent weeks, which means they could opt to spend big on a proven striker in January, too.
Here is what their new XI could look like based on the latest transfer news and rumours.
