5 Players Manchester United Should Sign - In the January Transfer Window!

5 players Manchester United should sign in the January transfer window. In today’s video we look at which signings could improve Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Man Utd in 2020.

The January transfer window isn’t known for the big name signings, we may have seen Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool splash the cash on Virgil van Dijk in January 2018 - but the big £75 Million fee was justified with an instant impact, helping his side to the Champions League final five months later in Kiev. This brings us to talk about the first name, Jadon Sancho. The difference in making a deal like the one for Van Dijk, was the dutchman played for Southampton at the time who are at best a mid-table Premier League club, whereas Jadon Sancho would be difficult to get over the line since his side Borussia Dortmund are in the knockout stages of the Champions League. The relationship between BVB and Jadon Sancho has been questioned recently, but the young England international still performed brilliantly this season. If Manchester United are to see any chance of signing the young prodigy in January we can certainly see the red devils making a bid to bring him to Old Trafford.

Erling Braut Haaland will without a doubt be in demand over the January transfer window. The young Norweigen star scored an incredible eight goals in the knockout stages of the Champions League, even finding the back of the net at Anfield against the European Champions Liverpool. But with his side RB Salzburg crashing out at the Champions League group stages, we could see the teenager move before the summer transfer window. Man Utd will have to compete with sides like Juventus, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund - while all three could offer Champions League football, the main concern for the youngster is gaurtneeting a starting role and only BVB seem the likely team alongside United to offer that - Maurizio Sarri’s Juventus have the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain firing, whilst Julain Naggelsmann’s RB Leipzig have a very much inform Timo Werner leading the line. So Man United have a decent chance of convincing the Norweigen youngster joining, but dealing with someone like Mino Riola will always be a difficult task, as seen with the likes of Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku.

So there’s a big chance Man Utd will struggle to land the bigger deals in January, but this doesn’t mean the door will be shut on any signings. You can see Alexander Isak and David Neres as the cheaper alternatives to Jadon Sancho and Erling Braut Haaland. Ajax starlet David Neres isn’t on Jadon Sancho’s level - that’s for sure however given the emergence of Mason Greenwood and his ability to play as an inside forward on that right flank Man Utd might want to bring somebody in for a smaller price and Neres, who was directly involved in 16 Eredivisie goals and impressed in the Champions League last season - may make a bit more sense. A cheaper alternative for Håland would be Alexander Isak. The former Dortmund striker scored more goals in his first 12 Eredivisie games (12) than any other foreign striker in the competition’s history in 18/19 - which is unbelievable when you consider that the likes of Ronaldo, Romario and Zlatan Ibrahaimovic have played in that league!

Denis zakaria would be a fantastic signing. Would add much needed depth and gives us a ball winner in midfield and someone that can pass the ball forward from a deaper roll. Would allow us to play a 3 man Midfield.

[mohammadsawlih]

The top priority has to be a creative Midfielder to help us break down teams that sit back. This will help us gain points that we typically drop against smaller teams.

[yashondowski]

Ole to Woodward: I want to sign Bruno and Halland.
Woodward: ok we will sign Longstaff and Mandzukic.

[dilz]

"The money was there but the players weren't available"
We will hear it yet again.

[ashiqurrahman]

1st priority should be signing a number 10!! Lingard or perreira is not good enough at all! Man utd should bring on in eriksen or maddison. And again they have to keep Pogba.

[thegatman]

1.Bruno Fernandez
2.Haaland
3. Zakaria
4. James Maddison
5. Jadon Sancho

[marcuslennon]

1. Haaland
2. James maddison
3. Sancho
4. Upamecano
5. Zakaria or neves

[joemurphy]

*They should get Haaland*
Me watching after Haalamd signs for Dortmund: 😢😭

[AdamT-mvok]

Ideal targets imo:
- Alex Telles for Left Back
- Ruben Neves for Holding Midfield
- James Maddison for Attacking Midfield
- Jadon Sancho for Right Wing
- Erling Håland for Striker

[Lipsymipsytipsy]

i love that you brought up alexander isak, he is so slept upon.. amazing talent

[Kwamya]

Timo Werner, is more experienced, less expensive and can hold up the ball in a way no one does in the team right now.

Ole's list ( no brexit fc no life ) :
1. Maddison
2. Longstaff
3. Rice
4. Chilwell
5. Sancho

[harish]

Chillwell was a disgrace against Man City. Mahrez used him as a training cone.

[lchg]

One thing, Zakaria could make even more fitting is that in the Swiss national team, he plays a bit more attacking role and runs often over the hole pitch with his power and pace

[alfredhertzberg]

Main thing we miss is creativity.

Really wouldn't think you would miss Jarrod Bowen as either a cam or a winger. In the 2019/20 season so far he's got himself 16 goal and 4 assists in 23 matches for Hull who isn't even a top side in the Prem. Last season he got 22 goals and 4 assist in 46 games and the season before 14 goals and 2 assists in 42 games.

He's a bargain for anyone who gets him, the new Maddison. 23 years old and his stats are improving a lot from season to season.

Btw, as a swede I'm happy you mentioned Isak but he's not good enough, at least not yet

[edwardkadatcham]

signing one world class CDM or a budding talent is a more realistic option for united in the January transfer window which would allow paul to play in the CAM role ... guess that's enough ...

[chrisc]

Leonardo Paredez is a fucking stud and we should buy him. He can play CM, DM, and played as a AM when he played in Boca Jrs. He is pretty young and wants more playing time bc he is sitting on the PSG bench and is gonna be cheep.

[amoghbalikai]

1. Lautaro Martinez
2. Wilfred Ndidi
3. James Maddison
4. Jadon Sancho
5. John Mcginn

[mohammedabdullatif]

Attacking midfield: maddison or Bruno Fernandes
Wing: bale pr Zeyash
Striker: haaland or Jimenez or Dembele

[RossMoore]

Wilfred Ndidi
Saul Niguez
James Madison
