Man United possible starting XI after January transfer window based on recent rumours

A possible Manchester United starting XI after the January transfer window based on recent rumours.

Manchester United are likely to add to their squad again during the January transfer window despite strengthening heavily during the summer.

Erik ten Hag was handed a significant chunk of money during the summer, with Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and others arriving.

The new signings haven;t helped United avoid a disappointing start to the season, but with a new partial owner in Jim Ratcliffe on his way in, it’s likely the Red Devils will strengthen again in the winter with a couple of incomings.

With that in mind, we have put together a possible United starting Xi after the January transfer window based on rumours.

While Onana will miss time for AFCON, he will be the general starter.

1. GK – Andre Onana

Nice star Jean-Clair Todibo has been linked with a move to Old Trafford. United need more depth, and they need to plan to replace Raphael Varane, who could miss out based on recent form and fitness.
