Man United Advance January Midfield Plans as Sesko Injury Tests Striker Depth and Mayor Rules Out Public Funding

The club is preparing a targeted January midfield addition under tighter spending pressures.

Overview

  • Ruben Amorim told reporters the team will focus on the future after Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest critique of the club’s structure.
  • United have gone five league matches without defeat and risen to around seventh in the table after a late draw at Tottenham.
  • Recruitment work for January centers on midfield, with interest reported in Conor Gallagher, Angelo Stiller, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Andrey Santos and Elliot Anderson, though mid-season deals are expected to be difficult and prices could rise before the World Cup.
  • Benjamin Sesko suffered a knee issue against Spurs and, according to reports, United could seek a striker in January if he faces a lengthy absence, with Joshua Zirkzee viewed as an internal alternative.
  • Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham said no taxpayer money will fund the proposed 100,000-seat stadium, confirming the club must finance the project itself.
