FourFourTwo's Transfer Wrap-up
Manchester United will be restricted to just one or two loans in January, due to the possibility of breaching FFP rules. A striker is a priority for the Red Devils, with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Thomas Muller and Timo Werner and Serhou Guirassy - who has a £15.2m release clause - all linked, while Erik ten Hag also wants to add another centre-back to his squad.
