Al Hilal and Al Ittihad are interested in the Manchester United captain, and the Premier League team is open to selling him as their priority is signing younger talents

Ruben Amorim is trying to block a Manchester United player from leaving as the January transfer window draws closer. United are not expected to be overly active during the winter transfer window, having spent over £200m on new signings last summer.

Manchester United agreed transfers worth in excess of £250million for six players in 2026, with Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Senne Lammens, Patrick Dorgu, and Diego Leon joining the club. But the squad still needs key additions to be ready to challenge for top honours again, and suit Ruben Amorim’s system.

Manchester United will have to shell out anything between £100 and £120 million even to remain in the race for Elliot Anderson, but a defender is not the top priority for Ruben Amorim

Carlos Baleba has addressed talk that speculation over a summer move to Manchester United has impacted his form. The Cameroon international was heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford over the summer as Ruben Amorim pushed to strengthen his side in the middle of the park.

Manchester United reportedly reached $1 billion in debt for the first time in club history this year.
