Overview
- Reports on Tuesday said Fabrizio Romano described a conditional plan for Manchester United to pursue multiple January signings if results remain poor and suitable players are available.
- Club sources and transfer reporters say a left-back is a priority because the defence was not rebuilt in the summer and options the club wanted were unavailable.
- United are also considering a striker to add competition up front after mixed performances from Matheus Cunha and injury concerns for Benjamin Sesko.
- Scouts are tracking Dinamo Zagreb forward Dion Beljo at an early assessment stage, but that interest is undeveloped and several other Premier League clubs are also linked.
- The club’s recent overhaul of attack in 2025 and midfield in 2026 frames this possible winter move as targeted reinforcement rather than a full rebuild.
