Manchester City may be 8 points clear at the top of the table, but the Premier League title race is far from over. We haven’t even reached the halfway mark of the season, and there are a lot of points to be played for. For City’s closest rivals Manchester United to keep up with them, they must reinforce their current squad depth which is key to title challenges, and despite spending £147.96million (via TransferMarkt) in the summer, Manchester United are still in need of new players in January.
Here are 5 potential reinforcements for Manchester United in January.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan started the season off in emphatic fashion, but his progress has seemingly slowed at Old Trafford. He looks a step slower, looks uninterested and apparently unable to influence games sufficiently. Such deadwood cannot be tolerated and José Mourinho being the ruthless manager he is, needs an individual who’s hard-working to replace Mkhitaryan.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. The Eagles star man could be fetched for a smart fee of £25m, something United could afford with ease. It’s time for the former United man to return home and become the star he was destined to be.
