Manchester United have been doing the business on the pitch lately and are now close to completing some off it.
Erik ten Hag's side have stormed to four successive victories since returning from the World Cup break, advancing to the EFL Cup quarter-finals and picking up a maximum nine points in the Premier League. After missing out on Cody Gakpo to arch-enemies Liverpool, the Red Devils are still keen to sign a forward in the January transfer window.
Despite being pleased with his current options, Ten Hag feels that the squad would benefit from more competition in attack. But it looks as if United's first signing of month will come in a different department, and the deal should be wrapped up before they host Everton in the FA Cup third round on Friday night.
