January transfer: Four attackers on Man Utd’s shortlist

Manchester United are hoping to sign a new attack player this ongoing January transfer window.

The reports via The Athletic’s Laurie Whitwell and Dan Sheldon revealed the four players are Erik Choupo-Moting and Thomas Muller of Bayern Munich, Timo Werner of RB Leipzig and Serhou Guirassy of VfB Stuttgart.

Erik ten Hag-led Man Utd side want to make a move for low-cost options to bolster their attacking third in the second half of the season.

The reason for a new player at the attack for the Red Devils is not far-fetched.

This season has been challenging for Man United, who have not really impressed in the attacking third, losing 14 matches across all competitions.
