3 Players Man United Could Sign in January Amid Poor Form

• Man United look set for another busy transfer window after a woeful start to the 2021/22 season
• United have failed to live up to their billing as they have struggled to post favourable results
• With the side in danger of missing out on a top-four place, Rangnick is expected to bolster his squad in January
• Amadou Haidara and Boubacar Kamara are among the players who have been linked with a move to Old Trafford

Man United could be forced to spend big during the January transfer window following a recent poor run of form.

The Red Devils, fresh from their Covid-19 hiatus were unable to see off Newcastle at St. James Park, settling for a disappointing 1-1 draw away from home.

Allan Saint-Maximin was on target for the Magpies, with Edinson Cavani having to come off the bench to rescue a point for United.

The result dealt the Old Trafford dwellers a massive blow in their hopes of sealing a top-four place as they currently sit seventh on the log.

United's interim boss Ralf Rangnick could be forced to enter the market to shop for new players who can bolster his squad and help in their push to secure a Champions League place.

Sports Brief now takes a look at three players the club could sign in winter:

Julian Alvarez

Despite boasting several options upfront, signing of a forward could be a priority for Man United, with both Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani linked with exits.

Julian Alvarez is believed to be top on United's wishlist, with reports in Argentina claiming they have already made contact with the youngster over a potential move.

Alvarez has enjoyed a stunning rise to prominence, thanks to his goalscoring prowess that saw him score 18 times and set up seven others to help River Plate win the Primera Division back in November.

Amadou Haidara

There is no secret that United need to strengthen their central midfield.

Amadou Haidara has widely been backed to seal a move to Old Trafford to help bolster the team's midfield.

The Red Devils will be banking on Haidara's close relationship with Ralf Rangnick to get the deal over the line.

Boubacar Kamara

The 21-year-old has been identified as an alternative option in midfield.

His contract with Marseille is set to expire at the end of the season and represents a low-cost and low-risk option for Rangnick.

Neville backs Pochettino for Man United role

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Man United icon Gary Neville has backed Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino for the club's managerial role.

United are yet to find a permanent replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who was recently dismissed.

Ralf Rangnick is currently in charge at Old Trafford on an interim basis until the end of the season.
