Three players Ruben Amorim's Manchester United should target in January transfer window

As the January transfer window approaches, numerous elite clubs throughout Europe are anticipated to make several signings to strengthen their squads for the remainder of the season. Manchester United, in particular, is expected to seek out a few acquisitions that they believe will enhance their team under the guidance of the new head coach, Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils dismissed Erik ten Hag following a disappointing beginning to the new season. However, the change in management has not significantly improved the club's performance in the league. It is believed that the new head coach should have input during the upcoming winter transfer window.

In this article, let’s examine three players Manchester United should target in the January transfer window.

3. Alvaro Fernandez

Alvaro Fernandez made his move to Benfica from Manchester United last December, securing a permanent transfer to the club this summer. During his tenure at Benfica, scouts from Manchester United have been monitoring his performance.

The source indicates that the scouting mission has revealed that he is being considered, following Amorim's emphasis on acquiring a new left-back in January, despite the Red Devils' initial hesitance regarding the return of Fernandez. It has been said that United’s scouting trip offers a clue that “they could re-sign Fernandez” when the winter transfer window starts in January.

2. Ederson

Ederson, a midfielder currently playing for Atalanta, is said to be under consideration by Manchester United for a potential winter transfer. Reports indicate that United has a strong interest in the Brazilian midfielder and may explore the possibility of a transfer as soon as next month.

Ederson is under contract with Atalanta until the summer of 2027, leaving him with two and a half years remaining on his agreement. The athlete is performing admirably in both Serie A and the Champions League, and he has not expressed any desire to depart from the club.

1. Alphonso Davies

In a bid to entice Alphonso Davies to leave Bayern Munich, Manchester United has arranged a meeting with his agency for January. At the end of the current season, Davies' contract with Munich will come to an end, and discussions are in progress to secure a new agreement.

The Canadian international is considered to be the perfect match for INEOS's objectives and the team's requirements. Additionally, the Red Devils have been associated with a potential transfer for a new left-wing-back to complement Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation.
