Manchester United resumes Premier League action this weekend, while keeping a close eye on potential transfer opportunities as the window approaches its close. The club has seen limited activity this month, with no new arrivals at Old Trafford so far. Time is running short for any last-minute reinforcements before Monday’s deadline.
Interim head coach Michael Carrick has started strongly, guiding the team to wins over Manchester City and Arsenal in his first two matches. United faces Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday, aiming for a victory in their final fixture before the transfer period ends.
Interest in Club Brugge Midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic
Reports indicate Manchester United is tracking Club Brugge’s young talent Aleksandar Stankovic as the January window winds down. Scouts have attended several of his matches, showing keen interest in the 20-year-old midfielder. Tottenham Hotspur is also monitoring the player, creating competition for his signature.
Stankovic left Inter Milan last summer, but the Italian club holds an option to repurchase him in the offseason. Current valuations place him around £20 million (€23 million), though it’s uncertain if United will pursue a deal immediately.
Monitoring Sassuolo Defender Tarik Muharemovic
United has been observing Sassuolo’s 22-year-old defender Tarik Muharemovic throughout the transfer period. Scouts have watched him in action and expressed positive impressions of his performances. Representatives were present for Sassuolo’s 3-1 Serie A victory over Pisa on Saturday, where Muharemovic played the full 90 minutes, helping his team rise to ninth in the standings.
This interest highlights United’s focus on bolstering defensive options with emerging talents as the deadline looms.
