7 players Manchester United can sign in January

#3 Philipp Max

Philipp Max keeps tabs on Arjen Robben - not the easiest thing on the planet

The German left-back, who is pushing for a starting place in Joachim Low's 2018 squad, has had a great year at Augsburg and is, in fact, leading the assist charts for defenders across the top five leagues in Europe with 8 already this season.

Fast, athletic, and a fantastic crosser of the ball (evident from that assists column) Maxx would plug a massive hole in United's system... where even as good a stop-gap arrangement as Ashley Young can only be a temporary solution for a club of United's ambitions... and at a market value of €5 million (as per transfermarkt) he would be a right proper steal and exactly the kind of buy that could become a mainstay at United... (think Patrice Evra!)
