Jose Mourinho will be looking to bolster his squad in new year following their miserable campaign that was the worst one in recent years.
Mourinho is unlikely to make two signings in January and if United decide to sign it’s likely that it'll be a defender to join the squad.
Here are five potential signings for United in the January window.
Diego Godin
The Atletico Madrid defender is likely to leave the Spanish side in future. Godin’s release clause has dropped to £20million, which would suit United perfectly.
Gary Cahill
Chelsea out of favour player Gary Cahill’s contract expires at the end of the season so he will be free to leave with AC Milan keen.
Harry Maguire
Mourinho was keen to land him but his £75m asking price was far more the amount they prepared for Maguire.
They may go back in for Maguire – who has since signed a new deal - in January.
Kalidou Koulibaly
The Napoli defender is a target for Barcelona and their £62m bid has been rejected.
If United decide to sign him they will have to pay in excess of £70m.
Ivan Perisic
Mourinho wanted to sign the Croatia winger in the past but United refused to pay Inter Milan's £50m asking price. Now Mourinho will have a second chance to bring him to Old Trafford.
