3 talking points from Manchester United’s January transfer window | Premier League 2019-20

#1 Red Devils need more reinforcements in the summer

Will United pursue Jadon Sancho this summer?

At the end of the January transfer window, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had made 3 additions to the United squad, but only one of them will improve the starting eleven. As of now, the Norwegian has made 4 significant additions to the squad since taking over as the permanent manager, but it is clear that the Red Devils need a few more before they can compete with the best in the league and Europe.

Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James have shown promise, while Fernandes is also expected to play a starring role in the team. However, United are staring at another important summer up ahead and need to show a lot more intent once the transfer window reopens after the end of the season.

The requirement of a proper right-winger has been written about a thousand times, while the club’s inability to add a striker in January means that they might be forced to revisit that chapter in a few month’s time. The defense has also been an issue, so a partner for Maguire could also be on the cards. United should also prepare for the imminent departure of Pogba, and cannot afford to be caught off guard at the penultimate moment once again.
