The 2018/19 season has crossed the halfway mark as the teams are beginning to realize their own strengths and weaknesses. The winter transfer window is open now and it always is advantageous to the teams who are looking to strengthen their squad. New signings at the January transfer window is always productive as it increases the squad depth and improves the team to perform better in the second half of the season.
Manchester United will surely be looking to take the advantage of the winter transfer window in this month as they look to challenge for the top-four spot in the Premier League. The team has endured one of their worst starts in the Premier League history this season.
Their poor start resulted in the sacking of their former manager, Jose Mourinho, in the month of December. However, Manchester United has slowly turned things around under the guidance of their new caretaker manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer.
Manchester United registered their fifth consecutive win last night and it's evident that his arrival has brought positive vibes at Old Trafford.
Despite the recent good displays, the poor start was not entirely the fault of Jose Mourinho. Some of the players have failed to impress even under the reign of the new caretaker boss. With new crucial games lining up in the second half of the season, Manchester United will be looking to bolster their squad with some new additions.
Without further ado, let us take a look at three players who can fit well with Manchester United.
#1 Kalidou Koulibaly
United has conceded the most number of goals among the top ten teams in the Premier League table. It is very evident that the former Premier League champions need reinforcement in the back as they struggle to keep a clean sheet in most games.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United board decides to splash on a defender in the January transfer window. The 27-year-old Center back from Napoli is having one of the best seasons of his career in 2018/19. He is tall, fast, agile and powerful with immense defensive capabilities and he is just the player who can fit into Manchester United squad easily.
Moreover, the defender from Senegal is subjected to racial abuse in the Seria A which may prompt him to choose a new destination. There is no doubt that Koulibaly will be the player to watch out for at Old Trafford if the deal goes through.

#2 Yannick Carrasco
The 25-year-old Belgian's shock move to Chinese Super League from Atletico Madrid still remains a shocker for many. It is truly astonishing how the talented and versatile right winger went to China at such a young age instead of playing regularly in Europe.
Carrasco was one of the players with huge potential at Atletico Madrid. His dynamic movement and dribbling is world class as he can cut through any defensive unit in the world. There is little doubt over the fact that moving to the Chinese Super League was a downgrade for a talented player like him.
Manchester United attack looked more blatant in the first half of 2018/19 season. Barring occasional bursts of brilliance from Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, United failed to impress with their attack. The failure of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the forward line was evident more than ever.
Bringing a proven talent like Carrasco will significantly improve the depth of the squad and will add United's firepower. Moreover, it will echo the wishes of Ole Gunner Solskjaer as he hopes to bring back the famous attacking flair associated with the Red Devils.
#3 Toby Alderweireld
Manchester United are desperately in need of good defenders. Their current backline of Smalling, Rojo, Jones, and Bailly have not impressed the Old Trafford faithful despite playing for more than three years. Their erratic performances have resulted in multiple United defeats in the past few years.
Though the former PL champions have improved a lot under their new caretaker boss, the defense looks still shaky. It is no secret that former United boss Jose Mourinho was desperate to get a good defender and the situation has not changed much even after he left the club.
Toby Alderweireld has been in United scheme of things for quite some time. The arrival of the Belgian will not only plug the leaky defense but also provide the mid-fielders some assurance to play attacking football. His assured presence in the back has helped Tottenham to play some attacking football.
The veteran defender is versatile and can function both as a center back and a right fullback.
