Man United transfer news LIVE - Scott McTominay return, Elliot Anderson move, Antoine Semenyo latest

There is less than 24 hours until the start of the January transfer window and Manchester United could be about to dip into the market to strengthen their squad.

Head coach Ruben Amorim is keen to add more bodies to his ranks as they look to climb up the Premier League table and mount a serious Champions League challenge. The Reds sit sixth in the top flight after 19 matches, just two points behind Liverpool in fourth, though they missed a guilt-edge chance to leapfrog Arne Slot's side after drawing 1-1 against winless Wolves at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

United spent close to £240million on transfers in the summer, but that amount could rise if the Reds chose to sign players in January. They are in the market for a new central midfielder, with Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson and Brighton's Carlos Baleba high up on their wanted list.

Elsewhere, players could exit Old Trafford in January. Kobbie Mainoo continues to be the most high-profile potential departure, while Joshua Zirkzee, who scored against Wolves, is another that may leave the club.

Below is the latest Manchester United transfer news...

Manchester United regret selling Scott McTominay to Napoli and are interested in re-signing the 29-year-old midfielder next summer, according to Transfer Feed.

It's claimed the Scotland international could be tempted to return to the Premier League if Napoli retain the Serie A title. Barcelona are among the others that have been linked.
