Manchester United are cautious of Financial Fair Play regulations and are preparing for a quiet January transfer window.
United signed Wout Weghorst, Marcel Sabitzer and Jack Butland on temporary deals at the beginning of this year and there were no arrivals in the mid-season window in 2021/22. The club prefers to conduct business in the summer and Erik ten Hag has spent over £400million (including add-ons) during his tenure.
United signed Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, Altay Bayindir and Sofyan Amrabat in the last summer transfer window, while Jonny Evans was signed on a free transfer and Sergio Reguilon signed on loan. It's understood the club won't commit significant funds this January and chief operating officer Collette Roche recently told a fans' forum: "Looking ahead to the January transfer window, we are not expecting it to be particularly busy.

"There will always be the possibility of deals around the edges of the squad, particularly in terms of finding opportunities for players who are not playing as much football as they would like.
"However, we've always been consistent in saying that we do not see January as the optimal time to do business and our recruitment strategy remains focused on summer windows.
"We've seen this season that Financial Fair Play rules have real teeth, so we have to be very careful to ensure that we remain compliant, and we will. But that means being really disciplined on spending going forward, with a balance between incomings and outgoings."
