Statement signings Sir Jim Ratcliffe could revisit at Manchester United
MEN Sport has profiled a couple of players Man United could target once the January transfer window opens
Edmond Tapsoba
If Edmond Tapsoba was worth £40 million in the summer, the price for the centre-back may have increased significantly.
The 24-year-old has been exceptional for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, helping his team to the top of the league.
Tapsoba expressed his happiness at being linked with Premier League clubs in the summer, but he remained committed to Leverkusen.
However, United's lack of defensive depth due to injuries may prompt them to pursue the talented defender in January.
Frenkie de Jong
Frenkie de Jong has been consistently linked with Manchester United in previous transfer windows.
Reuniting De Jong with his former Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag, would be a bold statement signing for Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Although a deal was close last summer, De Jong's current contract with Barcelona runs for another two-and-a-half years.
However, an injury has hindered his playing time this season, which could potentially push Barcelona to consider offers.
