Barcelona, in particular, will have to tread carefully this January. Their already precarious financial situation will not be helped one bit by their early UEFA Champions League elimination.

Xavi will have to make some astute signings and get rid of the deadwood soon if he is to guide the Catalan giants back to glory once again. Manchester United, on the other hand, will be looking to push on under Ralf Rangnick and cement a top 4 position in the Premier League.
