5 Players Man Utd Should Sign In January 2022

Welcome back guys! Today we’ll be taking a look at 5 players Ralf Rangnicks Manchester United should look to sign in January.

First let’s take a look at a player recently linked to Man Utd, Amadou Haidara. Haidara is a true Red Bull midfielder that would slot into Manchester United’s midfield. Energy and work rate are his standout attributes but he’s aso technically very strong with an excellent level of tactical intelligence. He uses this tactical intelligence to offer balance to his side, often moving into less threatening positions to create holes in the opposition’s shape. But if he isn’t tracked and receives, his crisp short passing allows him to either keep the ball moving and recycle possession or play good, line breaking passes into advanced teammates.

Next up we’ll take a look at a true box to box midfielder in Franck Kessie. The AC Milan player could come at a bargain with his contract expiring in 2022. He’s very disciplined in possession and sticks to his task. Despite possessing a good passing range, Kessie generally keeps things short and simple, moving the ball around and giving good control to his side, but when the chance comes, he’s got the talent to flip the tempo and play neat line breaking passes or long switches of play. The midfielder is averaging over four progressive passes per 90 in Serie A this season but is still completing nearly 92% of his passes.

Next up we look at one of the standout players in the current Ajax side, Edson Alvarez.
I’ve watched a lot of Ten Hag’s Ajax this season and Alvarez gets my seal of approval, a really great player in the making. Standing at just under 6 foot 2, Alvarez is a surprisingly elegant footballer. He’s got a very similar skill set to Rodri. He’s more mobile than the City man but his strengths lie in his technical ability and reading of the game. He’s integral to Ten Hag’s fluid system as he needs to be ready to provide cover to anywhere on the pitch with players interchanging positions. Despite the huge task, Alvarez excels and almost always seems to know where he’s needed most and seems to move before the ball needs regaining, which says a lot about his reading of the play.

I’m so happy to see Edson Alvarez here. As a Mexican/America fan, it’s so great to see the improvements he’s made to his game over this season. He’s always been one of Mexico’s best players, but now he’s becoming one of Ajax’s most important players.

[efremsidi-shire]

Kessie should be the absolute #1 target if he’s available if anyone watches Milan games you’ll know immediately how incredibly talented and useful he is going forward, defending and maintaining possession

[NatyHD]

I’m really confident about this transfer window because we now have a manager with a real plan of action.

[Ahmed]

I never thought id miss watching Fred and maguire so much, cant wait for monday😭

[alvinanis]

I see Bellingham as that long term Pogba replacement without the circus, would love to see United get him.

[Shakeel_._Ahmed]

Here is the list for anyone in a rush;

Haidara, Kessie, Edison Alvarez, Kalvin Philips, Bellingham.

[calvarezalvarez]

Edson Alvarez will definitely make all the defenders look better and with Maguire/Lingard duo, Man United needs him

[Minmataro]

I'm so excited to see how United shapes their squad the next 2-3 years.

[JakeDriver]

Getting that midfield sorted has to be the priority imo. This Pogba situation needs to be cleared up, And some competition needs to be brought in. Fred's adapted to this new system pretty well but i don't think Scott or Matic pushes him enough.

[ramoneregal]

Love us to sign Haidara Kamara Alvarez and one more striker in the summer with Martial and Cavani going.

[raihan]

Personally with all the rumours I think ragnicks tryna play pogba and bruno in mid with another striker up front with inverted full backs in haidara

Here are the 5 players mentioned by Dave; Save some time 🌚
👉 Amadou Haidara (RBL)
👉 Kessie (AC Milan)
👉 Edson Alvarez (Ajax)
👉 Calvin Philipps (Leeds Utd)
👉 Jude Bellingham (BvB)

[thinkdiazz]

Alvarez - the perfect no 4 replacement for you know which legend

[gonzalohernandez]

Edson Alvarez can play center back too. I think he’d be an improvement over maguire

[jameshutchinson]

Gluing your hands together has really helped with your crazy arms Dave! 😉😂😂😂👍👍👍

[daltonmainz]

I think one important & clinical player you have to be on his radar is Serge Milinkovic Savic ... he has great passes great vision & can press as a defensive mid ...must buy for me

[juniorurselita]

- Good selection of players, I doubt Alvarez would join seeing the way Donny is treated and also Alvarez stated he wants Barca.
- Jude Bellingham would be a massive summer signing because he has everything to be United future captain.
- Other players that would be good addition to United midfield would be: Brozovic (Inter), Sanghare (PSV), Touchameni (AS Monaco) & Paredes (PSG).
- With Matic, Mata, Lingard and Martial leaving there's space for Garner to join the senior squad permanently.

[hussainiusmandatti]

I too, have a conference that this transfer window Man Utd should confirmed sign new player/players.Since we have a tactician Manager, much respect to you Sir, once again.


UP Man United!

Palhinha is so underrated... Why is nobody talking about him?

[Truebro]

I think we should sign a CDM in January and sign a Box to box in the summer, for CDM i very highly rate edson Alvarez i think he is perfect, for box to box i also rate Frank Kessie alot but Jude Bellingham would be the dream
