The January 2026 transfer window is about to open, bringing opportunities for Man United to consolidate the squad, to strengthen competitiveness. Currently, their squad is very thin when Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire are injured. And Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo and Noussair Mazraoui are participating in the African Cup.
However, coach Ruben Amorim is still very secretive about Man United's upcoming transfer plans. Speaking before the match against Wolves, he said: "Opportunities are wide open and we need to understand what we can do. I am just thinking about restoring all of my players, so I will not knock on Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada to ask for more players.
They know what we need, but I also understand that Man United has a process. We want to do everything surely so as not to repeat past mistakes," Amorim said.
According to the Portuguese strategist, it will not be easy to recruit a suitable player who can immediately integrate into the team's playing style in the January 2026 transfer window. Therefore, Man United is ready to endure difficulties to be able to choose the most satisfactory players in the summer 2026 transfer window.
However, Amorim does not completely close the opportunity to recruit a new player for Man United. The most important thing according to him is the consensus between him and the club's leadership, headed by football director Jason Wilcox.
I think when working, sometimes I have an idea, Jason and the board of directors have another idea, and for every decision made, we need to reach consensus and that's really important," Amorim said.
According to the Portuguese strategist, Man United will consider many factors to recruit a new player from meeting in terms of playing style, position, lifestyle, training methods and personality.
For nearly 1 year, Man United's transfer work has shown effectiveness. Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu and Ayden Heaven were bought in January 2025 and they are making clear progress. Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens brought in last summer also quickly affirmed their position.
Therefore, Man United will consider very carefully before deciding to buy the player in January 2026 or not. Currently, there are many rumors about their interest in Ruben Neves of Al Hilal and especially Antoine Semenyo - who is also being very noticed by Man City.
The Man United vs Wolves match will take place at 3:15 AM on December 31.
