The January transfer window has now closed, leaving Manchester United to begin looking forward to the summer for their next round of recruitment.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Sunday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:

Manchester United 'cool interest in centre-back due to Harry Maguire form'

Manchester United reportedly no longer feel the need to prioritise bringing in a new centre-back during the summer due to Harry Maguire's recent form.

The world's most expensive defender has helped United to five clean sheets in their last nine matches in all competitions.

United were said to be concerned by a drop-off in Maguire's performances at the start of the season, not helped by off-field issues.

According to the Manchester Evening News, however, the 27-year-old's upturn in form has taken the pressure off the Red Devils' search for defensive cover.

Rather than looking for a new leader at the back, it is suggested that United may instead look to bring in a partner for Maguire further down the line, though that depends on how Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly perform between now and the summer.

United are second in the Premier League ahead of their home match against Everton on Saturday night.

Manchester United eyeing Max Aarons move?

Norwich City defender Max Aarons has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Manchester United ahead of the summer transfer window.

With Timothy Fosu-Mensah having left for Bayer Leverkusen and Diogo Dalot currently at AC Milan, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been left short of direct competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The Norwegian is expected to bring in a new right-back later in 2021 with Atletico Madrid's Kieran Trippier one of the players linked with a switch to Old Trafford.

However, ESPN claims that United are considering whether to move for Aarons, who has impressed since his introduction to the Norwich first team.

The Canaries are likely to consider selling the 21-year-old ahead of next season, despite the player possessing a contract at Carrow Road until 2024.

Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be in the hunt for Aarons, who has started each of Norwich's 28 league fixtures this campaign.
