United’s January transfer plans take shape…
Manchester United had a shopping spree this summer, splashing over £215 million like a kid in a candy store with a really big sweet tooth. They signed Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Senne Lammens after what felt like their longest season in 51 years—some even say it lasted longer than a trip to Pluto. Although United’s summer shopping ended with a deadline day surprise, their new recruits have been slow to activate superpowers in the 2025/26 season. After losing to Arsenal, drawing with Fulham, and narrowly beating Burnley, Mbeumo is the only one scoring while Cunha waits for his injury to mend and Sesko is trying to figure out which shoelace to tie first.
In January, United might dive back into the transfer market looking for a new striker to join Sesko up front because why settle for one superhero when you can have two? With Rasmus Hojlund back in Italy, United’s No.9 shirt is up for grabs, almost as prestigious as Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak. The shirt has been worn by legends like Andy Cole and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, so no pressure there! The club could wait until summer, eyeing numbers like No.14, No.17, or maybe even a wildly ambitious No.39. Fans are eager and rumors are swirling faster than a loaded pizza on a restaurant’s busy night about who might fill these iconic spots!
