With the January transfer window now at the halfway point, rumours are ramping up and Manchester United are no exception. While they are still looking to offload players of their own in order to boost transfer fees, they remain linked to a number of high profile players.
Any signings made this month will boost United's chances of climbing up the Premier League table and rejoining the fight for top four. One link in particular could completely change their season's narrative if it comes to fruition, so we have put together a predicted lineup based on recent transfer links and of course, the return of injured key players.
Take a look below at the team of 11 that Erik ten Hag could deploy if all of the recent transfer rumours come true.
