Manchester United resumes Premier League action this weekend while keeping an eye on potential transfer moves before the window closes. The January period has seen limited activity at Old Trafford, with no new arrivals confirmed yet. Time is running short for any last-minute reinforcements if the club decides to act.
Michael Carrick’s Strong Start
Michael Carrick has impressed in his role as interim head coach, guiding United to victories over Manchester City and Arsenal in his opening two matches. The team faces Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday, aiming for a win in their final fixture before the deadline.
Interest in Club Brugge Midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic
United shows interest in Club Brugge’s Aleksandar Stankovic as the January window nears its end. Scouts have attended his matches, highlighting the 20-year-old’s potential. Tottenham Hotspur also eyes the midfielder, creating competition for his signature.
Inter Milan, Stankovic’s former club from last summer, holds an option to re-sign him in the summer. Officials value the talent at around £20 million (€23 million), though it’s uncertain if United will pursue a deal now.
Monitoring Sassuolo Defender Tarik Muharemovic
United has tracked Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic throughout the window. Scouts report being impressed by the 22-year-old defender’s displays. Representatives watched him play the full 90 minutes in Sassuolo’s 3-1 Serie A victory over Pisa on Saturday, which lifted the team to ninth in the standings.
