Transfer plans for January
Manchester United is exploring the prospect of temporarily acquiring midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid. This strategy is part of their broader efforts to bolster the team during the winter transfer window.
Guided by coach Ruben Amorim, United’s performance this season has been inconsistent. Currently, they hold the sixth spot in the Premier League, a single point from the top four, and three points ahead of Newcastle, which sits twelfth.
Bruno Fernandes’ situation
Talks within the club suggest openness to selling Bruno Fernandes to gather funds for new signings. Interest has surfaced from Saudi Pro League teams prepared to offer roughly â¬120 million for the midfielder. Despite being a standout player, his future at United is under review.
Previous transfer attempts
Earlier attempts, including a push for Conor Gallagher and Carlos Baleba from Brighton, fell short in the summer. The deal with Baleba was scrapped due to Brighton’s high demands. However, United’s interest in the midfielder persists.
Baleba’s situation
United is contemplating revisiting the Baleba deal by 2026. Yet, ongoing valuation disagreements and inconsistent form from Baleba present significant barriers to a potential agreement.
Interest in Adam Wharton
Reports suggest a planned approach for Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, with United prepared to propose a â¬120 million bid. However, negotiations remain challenging due to Crystal Palace’s firm stance.
Casemiro’s contract status
With Casemiro’s contract nearing its end, United wishes to retain him but with reduced wages, meeting resistance. Interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia adds to the uncertainty surrounding his future at Old Trafford.
Mainoo’s situation
Paul Ince has advised Kobbie Mainoo to seek opportunities elsewhere, emphasizing the need for regular playtime. Mainoo’s career at United appears stalled, with a potential move to Napoli suggested to boost his prospects.
Looking ahead
As recruitment plans gain momentum ahead of a possible strategic summer window, Coach Amorim eyes an immediate focus on the ongoing season. United aims to build upon their recent triumph over Wolves when they face Bournemouth on Monday.
