While the revelers in the red part of Manchester are waiting to be able to toast and send off the New Year’s fireworks, Manchester United are working intensely. This is the starting signal for the transfer market and the signing of the necessary reinforcements. Several players are linked to United, as usual, but just days before the window opens, there are two players who seem particularly relevant.

The patience with Andre Onana should be worn thin by the United management, at the same time Amorim must and should get a reinforcement at left-back.

According to both the Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail, the United management is preparing two bids. They are Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson (27) and Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen (22).

Robinson has established himself as one of the league’s best left-backs and leads the league in assists among defenders. Previous reports in England say Fulham are demanding around £30 million for the American.

A similar sum will be demanded by Brighton for Verbruggen. The Dutchman has established himself as the Premier League club’s No. 1 between the sticks and has also taken his place as a regular in the Dutch national team.
