Manchester United fans would be hoping that senior club officials dip their hands into the bottomless funds accessible to the Old Trafford outfit to sign the players needed to boost the playing squad as they fight to achieve the objectives this season.

The lack of midfielders might derail their season and prevent the Red Devils from achieving their target for this season which is to qualify for Champions League football next season.

With key midfielders Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay out of action till the end of the month, Manchester United might need to sign at least one midfield maestro to makeup for the loss of the above mentioned Red Devils midfielder to injury.

Manchester United signed Aaron Wan-Bissaka last summer in a £50m deal as he joined from Crystal Palace last summer but he has been found wanting defensively.

Leicester City right-back Ricardo Pereira is one of the best in his position this season in the league behind Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes and Tottenham Hotspur player Christian Eriksen are midfield options.

Manchester United XI after January Window: David De Gea; Ricardo Pereira, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Gedson Fernandes, Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen; Anthony Martial, Daniel James and Marcus Rashford.
