7 players Manchester United can sign in January

#1 Joao Mario

Joao Maria is an integral part of the European Champions

Arguably the most likely to join United this window, Joao Mario has been linked with the Red Devils recently - a potential swap deal including the suddenly out-of-favour Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been mooted - and there's a good reason for it.

The Portuguese playmaker has been in-and-out of the high-flying Inter Milan squad, Luciano Spaletti implementing his rotation technique, but when he's played he's looked sharp - his vision, passing, and dribbling making him a menace in the final third. Mario's positional awareness and discipline would also make him a perfect player for Mourinho... and with his arrival, the creative burden currently shouldered by Paul Pogba could easily be shared with the Portuguese.
