Manchester United could still yet add to Erik ten Hag's squad in the January transfer window. The winter window has just over a week remaining and United are yet to sign a single player.

Outgoings have been prioritised this month in an attempt to trim the wage bill in compliance with domestic and European financial fair play rules.

The Manchester Evening News understands that the club are "tight" on FFP after over £400million was invested on new signings in the last two summer transfer windows.

Sources say that any possible incoming would have to be "exceptionally economic". It's possible that United may have to turn to the loan market - as they did last year - to improve Ten Hag's squad for the second half of the season.
