MU are targeting Raheem Sterling and Lassine Sinayoko for their attack.
Manager Ruben Amorim is working to increase Manchester United's squad depth in the January transfer window with potential names from both Ligue 1 and the Premier League.
Manchester United are expected to be very active in the winter transfer window as manager Ruben Amorim prioritizes strengthening the squad. According to the Manchester Evening News (MEN), the top priority for the Old Trafford side is a central midfield position, with targets including James Garner, Conor Gallagher, and Manu Koné.
Lassine Sinayoko is on Manchester United's radar.
Besides midfield, the attack is also an area that the Red Devils are paying special attention to. According to sources from Africafoot, Manchester United have made an inquiry to buy Mali international Lassine Sinayoko from Auxerre. The striker is currently in impressive form in Ligue 1 with 6 goals in 16 appearances this season.
Reports indicate that Manchester United are close to reaching a deal worth €3 million per season for the Auxerre striker. Additionally, Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo has also been added to their list of potential targets.
The unexpected option is named Raheem Sterling.
With the January transfer window about to open, former Liverpool striker Dean Saunders believes Manchester United could pull off a shock move for Raheem Sterling. The 31-year-old star is currently part of Chelsea's "bomb squad" and has yet to play a minute under manager Enzo Maresca.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Saunders said that Sterling is still in top form and maintaining a rigorous training intensity despite training separately."If I were a Premier League club right now, I would sign Raheem Sterling."Saunders asserted that Manchester United could negotiate a salary reduction or ask Chelsea for assistance in paying wages to complete the deal.
Sterling has long admitted to being a loyal Manchester United fan since he was a child. In 2024, The Telegraph also reported that the winger was willing to consider a move to Old Trafford if the opportunity arose.
Mason Mount faces difficulties ahead of the World Cup.
In other news, Manchester United's squad suffered a setback when Mason Mount suffered a recurrence of his injury following the victory against Newcastle. According to manager Amorim, this issue makes the English midfielder's chances of participating in the 2026 World Cup more precarious than ever.
