Manchester United are not planning to make any ‘significant’ signings during the January transfer window.
That’s according to talkSPORT sources, which, as to be expected, has had a number of United fans talking on social media.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick suffered his first home defeat against Wolves on Monday evening, with United suffering a blow in their bid to finish in the top four.
Rangnick has admitted previously that the club are not considering additions, believing the current squad is‘ big enough’. And, according to talkSPORT, United are indeed not expecting to be busy when it comes to players arriving this month.
The club’s focus is on the summer window, with a central midfielder thought to be a priority.
The likes of Kalvin Phillips, Amadou Haidara and Boubacar Kamara have all been linked with moves to Old Trafford, whereas rumours regarding a move for Wolves’ Ruben Neves have recently surfaced.
However, they could perhaps do with one of those additions now – none of Fred, Scott McTominay or Nemanja Matic have really stood up and proven themselves as top dog in midfield this season, with none of the trio averaging a match rating above 7/10 (Whoscored).

“I knew it… The board was content with CR7 shirt sales but not spending in Jan on reinforcements. At this rate I don’t think we’ll even make Europa!!”

“So we’re not fighting for top 4? Settling pretty much then get to the summer and not buy any players because we lost out on the Champions League money. Is this a business or a football club?”
