Man Utd looking at two players to potentially sign in January, with Ruben Amorim as their main focus.

Next week, Ruben Amorim will officially take over as the new boss of Manchester United. According to reports, the Red Devils are already making plans to strengthen their team in the upcoming January transfer window under Amorim's leadership.

One area that United is looking to improve is their striking department, with a particular focus on finding an affordable option. They are also in search of a new No.8 to play in central midfield. Transfer expert Florian Plettenberg from Sky Germany has revealed that United is closely monitoring Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka, although it seems unlikely that he will leave the Bundesliga giants this winter.

While it is uncertain who United will target as their "affordable striker," it is clear that it won't be someone like Viktor Gyökeres, as his price tag is too high. Gyökeres, who currently plays for Sporting Lisbon, has been linked with United, as well as other top English clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City. If United is successful in signing a cheap striker and a new No.8 in January, it will allow them to focus on bringing in a new defender in the summer.

One potential target for United's defense is Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, whom they are reportedly waiting to make a move for in the summer transfer window. Another player who has caught United's attention is Ousmane Diomade, a defender from Sporting Lisbon. However, it is likely that United will also wait until the summer to make a move for him.

Amorim, who has been the manager of Sporting Lisbon for the past four years, will officially start his tenure at United on November 11, replacing Erik ten Hag. He has already been advised to bring back midfielder Paul Pogba for a third time at Old Trafford by former United striker Louis Saha.

Saha believes that Pogba has the talent to play at the highest level and that he would thrive under Amorim's leadership. He also sees Pogba as a valuable addition to United's midfield, especially with the recent injury of Scott McTominay.
