Ruben Amorim will be desperate to get to the January transfer window to improve his squad, as things haven’t gone well so far this season. The Red Devils lost 3-1 in their most recent Premier League clash against Brentford.
It leaves Amorim’s side 14th in the league table, and leaves the manager under considerable pressure, with some significant former players such as Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville calling for Amorim to be sacked based on United’s start to the new season.
However, if Amorim does last until January, he will hope to turn things around by signing some real difference makers to his squad. United are crying out for a holding midfielder, and have been linked to several top names. Furthermore, goal scoring is still an issue, and the lack of capable wing-backs is also hurting Amorim, who won’t change from his 3-4-3 system at Old Trafford.
So who could the Red Devils sign to improve things in January? ManchesterWorld decided to put together a dream XI of players based on the most recent transfer rumours around Man United...
9. CAM - Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
In recent days, Man United have been linked to Bournemouth star attacker Semenyo alongside Tottenham Hotspur, and he could slot into one of the attacking midfield roles at United, which would push Cunha into a different role. He has been the highest-scoring midfielder in FPL so far this season. | Getty Images
10. CAM - Bryan Mbeumo
Mbeumo will be hoping to get on the scoresheet more regularly going forward, considering that he has struggled to recreate his form from Brentford last season. | Manchester United via Getty Images
11. ST - Matheus Cunha
So far this season, Cunha has been more of a threat than Benjamin Sesko, so if United were to sign Semenyo, why not start Cunha up front, as he did on several occasions during his time at Wolves. | Manchester United via Getty Images
