Manchester United are set to take on Wigan Atletic in the FA Cup third-round on Monday night before a one-week winter break, leaving Erik ten Hag with enough time to mark out his 2024 winter transfer targets.
The Red Devils are underperforming and their Dutch manager, Erik ten Hag, could be forced to ask for new additions in January as a solution to fix his misfiring squad.
Rasmus Højlund, Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat and Andre Onana has all struggled to replicate their best form at Old Trafford but reports insists that, the Red Devils are bound to have a quiet 2024 January transfer window in terms of new arrivals.
Which clearly warranted the creation of this article, below is a prediction of how Man United's 2024 winter transfer window could loop like, if certain deals are to push through.
Potential out
Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho are currently top of this list at Manchester United, considering the fact that both players are earning high at Old Trafford.
However, England winger, Jadon Sancho appears most likely to depart Old Trafford this winter with reports linking the 23-year-old to a loan move back at Borussia Dortmund after his early season rift with Erik ten Hag.
Jadon Sancho has agreed to spend the remainder of his 2023-24 campaign at the Signal Iduna Park but a final conclusion has not been reached by Manchester United and Dortmund.
Anthony Martial could also leave this January, that is if, a mouthwatering bid is offered to Manchester United for the Frenchman's services. Veteran centre-back, Raphael Varane, is also being mooted with a return at the Santiago Bernabeu but no formal approach has been made by Real Madrid yet.
Other than that, the Red Devils are expected to have no further outgoings until the end of the current season.
Potential in
Towards the end of last year, Erik ten Hag publicly ruled out any new arrival in the current January transfer window but after Sir Jim Ratcliffe's latest takeover, it is looking likely that one or two new faces may join Man United this winter.
Nevertheless, Crystal Palace's Michael Olise has emerged as a primary target for Man United this month with reports having it that, the Red Devils are also willing to offer Aaron Wan-bissaka.
Furthermore, Crystal Palace are yet to issue out any official response to Man United, thereby, causing the deal to stall.
Loans
Man United academy graduates Hannibal and Facundo Pellistri could both leave on loan with Spanish giants, Sevilla, keeping close tabs on the duo.
Amad Diallo looks unlikely to leave on loan this January after making his first appearance for Man United against Nottingham Forest recently.
Contracts
The Red Devils has a lot of work to do in this area as Aaron Wan-bissaka, Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof and Hannibal all approach the final year of their current United contract.
Nevertheless, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Alejandro Garnacho, Scott Mctominay and Marcus Rashford are all tied down to long term contracts at Old Trafford.
