2 Man Utd transfers that can be completed on deadline day after late Erik ten Hag U-turn
Manchester United were never likely to be ultra active in the January transfer window - but the Red Devils could still get some deal's wrapped up before the deadline.
After being backed to the tune of around £170million in the summer, Erik ten Hag knew that bolstering his squad with real quality mid-way through the season was unlikely. That hasn't prevented a flurry of names being linked with United, though, including Premier League old boys Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Timo Werner.
