At the beginning of the month, Ruben Amorim spoke about Man Utd’s transfer strategy this winter. No panic signings, here the focus is on long-term solutions, players who lift the United game in the long run, Then it happened with Sesko injury, we saw what happened against Tottenham when both Maguire and Casemiro had to leave the field, in January Amorim loses three important players for the Africa Cup of Nations (Amad, Mbeumo and Mazraoui). Does this mean that short-term solutions are once again on the block?

According to Sky Sports, this is true, but a strategy that could also end up with Manchester United sitting completely, completely still in the transfer market. Because according to the English media, United, as of now, do not count on a single signing in January. Of course, the transfer plans can change if a special situation arises or if it becomes possible to make a bargain, but the starting point is that United are sitting still in the boat.
Many would call this risky business, others would call it a step forward for Man Utd, with their long tradition of signing bad emergency solutions in the winter.
