Manchester United have some ground to make up despite seeing Premier League results go their way on Sunday afternoon - including another defeat for Tottenham.
What transfer business Manchester United will complete before January deadline day
26.01.2022 - 20:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Time is running out for clubs up and down the country to complete their January transfer business ahead of the window closing at 11pm on Monday evening.
After splashing the cash during the summer, when they brought in Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United were never likely to throw hell to the wind this month, despite a change in management since the summer window closed.
Unsurprisingly, exits have been the dominant theme of United's window so far, with confirmation of Anthony Martial's loan move to Sevilla on Tuesday evening the biggest headline so far.
However, Martial is not expected to be the final departure ahead of the deadline, with several faces within the first-team squad continuing to be linked with exits.
With that in mind, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what could happen at Old Trafford in the final few days and hours that lie ahead in this month's window.
As reported by MEN Sport ahead of Christmas, United were set to prioritise the addition of a new holding-midfielder in this month's transfer window, with Ralf Rangnick having quickly identified it as a weak spot within the squad.
While United's need to strengthen that area of the team has by no means extinguished, the likelihood of the club bringing in a new midfielder, or any new recruit, is currently highly unlikely. The summer window is set to be the time when the squad is next bolstered..
Things can change quickly in the January transfer window, especially towards the end of the window, but no new signings are expected to be posing for photographs in a United shirt, holding a scarf aloft, ahead of the bell sounding.
