Man United given massive boost over January target as ‘positive’ talks ongoing -Reports

With rumors circulating regarding Harry Maguire and Randal Kolo-Muani before the market opens, Manchester United may be busy in January as Ruben Amorim works to get the team back on track.

At the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, the Red Devils heroically overcame their fierce rivals.

They now face Spurs on Thursday in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals before facing Bournemouth the following weekend.

Additionally, a lot of work is being done behind the scenes while Ruben Amorim is busy getting his players ready. In a few weeks, the January transfer window will open.

The Red Devils have been linked with a move for a host of stars ahead of the winter window, while some current United players could leave. Take a look at all of the latest rumours here:

Maguire holds ‘positive’ talks
Former Man United captain Harry Maguire has revealed ‘positive’ talks are ongoing regarding a new contract with the club. Maguire has just six months remaining on his current deal, with a club option to extend that for a further campaign.

Speaking after the weekend’s win, Maguire said: “Listen, I haven’t really thought about it. I’ve still got this year to go, with an option in their hands.

“But, yeah, talks are ongoing and all the signs are positive at the moment. The chat that I’m having is really positive.”

Maguire was given a surprise start against Man City at the Etihad and impressed in the Red Devils’ victory.

United handed Kolo Muani boost
Manchester United could be set to add to their attacking options this January with a move for Randal Kolo Muani. The Frenchman has found opportunities limited with current club PSG this season.

He has made just two starts for the side, scoring twice. And the French giants have made a decision that could benefit the Red Devils.

As per L’Equipe, they would be open to sending him out on loan. United would face competition for Kolo Muani’s services from clubs in Germany.

Amorim handed advice
Manchester United have been told to make a double defender swoop this summer – for Brentford’s Mads Roerslev and Fulham star Joachim Andersen. Ex-Red Devils defender Wes Brown said: “Joachim Andersen is a player that clubs like Manchester United might have an eye on, when you’re as consistent as he is in the Premier League for a midtable club then you are bound to attract some interest from elsewhere.

“He’s a player that has plenty of experience now and should the need arise he might be the subject of bids from clubs playing in Europe. Mads Roerslev is a tricky player who gets at players when he is on the ball and Thomas Frank has obviously seen something special in him and he has repaid that faith.

“If Ruben Amorim does want an extra player in the right wing-back position then he would be a player to look at. It will be interesting to see how he progresses at Brentford and if other clubs want to strengthen their squad in January.”
