Manchester United are in urgent need of strategic changes during the January transfer window to address their current struggles in the Premier League. Despite significant investments in recent years, the team finds itself in the bottom half of the table, necessitating both player acquisitions and departures to align with manager Ruben Amorim's tactical vision.
1. Offload Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford, once a pivotal figure for United, has expressed a desire for a "new challenge" and has been absent from recent matchday squads. Given his substantial weekly wages of £325,000, a loan move could alleviate financial pressures and provide Rashford with the fresh start he seeks.
Amad Diallo has shown potential and could play a significant role in United's attacking lineup. The club should focus on integrating him into the first team, offering more playing time to aid his development and contribute to the squad's depth.

3. Reinforce the Left-Back Position
The left-back spot has been a concern, with current options not meeting the required standards. United are reportedly interested in young talent Diego Leon from Cerro Porteno to bolster this position.
Harry Maguire, whose contract expires in the summer, has attracted interest from Napoli. Offloading him could improve the club's financial standing and Performance Sustainability Regulations (PSR) position.
Antony, who has had limited impact since his arrival, has been linked with a move away, with Real Betis showing interest. Allowing his departure could free up resources for more effective reinforcements.
United are monitoring Atalanta's midfielder Ederson to enhance their midfield options. Acquiring a dynamic midfielder would support Amorim's tactical approach and provide the team with much-needed creativity and stability.
