As the January transfer window unfolds, Manchester United will be closely watched to see if they can secure these potential signings and turn their season around.
Despite cautious statements from manager Erik ten Hag and sporting director John Murtough regarding January transfers, the need for fresh legs and new ideas is apparent, considering United's worst start to a season in almost a century.
The recent confirmation of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 25% stake in the club adds extra motivation to reinforce the squad and impress the new stakeholders.
Here are three potential signings that could provide the boost United desperately need. The combination of defensive solidity, midfield creativity, and attacking prowess could be the key to reigniting United's campaign and satisfying the expectations of their new stakeholders.
1. Jean-Clair Todibo (Centre-back)
After a failed pursuit in the summer, United could revive their interest in Jean-Clair Todibo, who has been impressing at Nice, owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The 23-year-old French center-back, who earned his first cap for France recently, could be a suitable replacement for the potentially departing Raphael Varane.
Todibo's aggressive defensive style aligns with Erik ten Hag's philosophy, and Ratcliffe's ownership could facilitate a smoother negotiation process.

2. Javi Guerra (Central Midfielder)
Manchester United have reportedly drawn up a plan to sign Valencia's young talent Javi Guerra. The 20-year-old central midfielder has caught the attention of United scouts, and the club are keen on securing his services.
Guerra's positive feedback from scouts and the club's proactive approach to expressing interest make him a potential addition to strengthen United's midfield.

3. Michael Olise (Right Winger)
With the need for attacking reinforcements, Michael Olise emerges as a major target for Manchester United. The French winger, who turned down a move to Chelsea in the summer, could provide a creative spark to United's frontline.
The Red Devils are reportedly considering offering Aaron Wan-Bissaka as part of the deal to secure Olise's services. United aim to revitalize their attacking options, especially after Sadon Sancho's expected loan exit, which means Olise's potential arrival could inject much-needed flair into the team.
