Manchester United are struggling in the Premier League and looking to the January transfer window to improve their squad.
Manchester United are currently thirteenth in the Premier League table approaching Christmas after a disappointing start to the season. Ruben Amorim 's initial positive spell has come to an end, and the Portuguese manager is now fully grasping the challenge ahead. While the Manchester Derby triumph was a memorable encounter, consistency remains elusive. Despite their best efforts, United fell short of achieving a remarkable comeback at Tottenham in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Adding to the woes, their final home game before Christmas, which fans had hoped would bring an early festive cheer, ended in a 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth. Amorim will face newly appointed Vitor Pereira at Wolves on Boxing Day (Kick-off: 5:30pm). Wolves, currently in the relegation zone, are 10 points behind Man United. For United, their mid-table position is a far cry from their aspirations, trailing leaders Liverpool by a significant 17 points. A mitigating factor for the United squad is that they have had to adapt to a completely new formation at a rapid pace. Amorim made it clear he wouldn't adopt a gradual approach. Consequently, the Portuguese manager is likely to scrutinize the January transfer window for players who align with his tactical philosophy. Several players from his former club Sporting are high on the list, including Viktor Gyokeres. Wing-back positions are also a priority area for Amorim, with some familiar Premier League faces being considered. Odds suggest that Man United are being favored to sign Ben Chilwell (3/1), Viktor Gyokeres (4/1), and Bryan Mbuemo (10/1)
