If Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim wants to enhance his squad in this month’s transfer window, he must first wait for some players to leave. Reports indicate that United has “no money” to spend on new signings in the coming weeks, which means Amorim may have to postpone changes until summer. However, due to the club’s current situation, acquiring one or two players during the mid-season window could provide a vital lift for both the team and its supporters. Ideally, United would benefit from signing both a left-sided wing-back and a center-forward this month. United currently lack a practical choice for the left wing-back position, and they have been struggling to score goals this season. As expected, they have been frequently associated with a move for Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres in this transfer window, but there is no possibility of signing him before the February 3 deadline. His release clause is estimated to be approximately £83 million. If United can manage their budget this month and sell one or two backup players, or possibly Marcus Rashford, whose future is currently in question, new opportunities may arise. United could potentially acquire a left wing-back and might also bring in a striker on loan. On the topic of the attack, Juventus has shown strong interest in signing Joshua Zirkzee due to his difficulties at United. Since joining the club from Bologna last summer, he has only scored four goals in 27 matches and was unfairly met with ironic cheers when he was substituted in the first half of Monday night’s 2-0 loss to Newcastle United. Besides reportedly showing interest in Zirkzee, Juventus is also said to be interested in Tyrell Malacia. According to a report by TuttoJuve, the left-back, who has played five times since his return from a long-term injury in November, is being sought after by the Italian club. The report suggests that Juventus may pursue a loan for Malacia this month, presenting a potential ‘last-minute opportunity.’ The report states that Juventus is seeking a versatile defender and thinks that the United player meets their requirements.
