Overview
- United's hierarchy are aligned on financial discipline for January, with major spending reserved for the summer, according to reporting from The Athletic.
- The club will only move if a long-term target unexpectedly becomes available, with no change after Antoine Semenyo chose Manchester City.
- The immediate dressing-room mood is reported as broadly positive with improved communication, and former figures such as Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Jonny Evans have contacted the club to offer support.
- United are working toward appointing an interim manager to steady performances for the rest of the season, with Solskjær reported as the frontrunner.
- Midfield planning remains the priority as Casemiro's deal runs to the summer with an extension viewed as unlikely, while targets like Elliot Anderson are unavailable and options such as fringe exits and a Joshua Zirkzee loan with obligation have been discussed.
