Manchester United are reportedly planning a quiet January transfer window, with the club keen to wait until next summer before further adding to their squad.

A busy summer market saw the 20-time English champions bring in Antony, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen, while Martin Dubravka arrived on loan from Newcastle United.

Man United spent in excess of £50m on Martinez, while they paid in the region of £70m for Casemiro before an £85m deal for Antony went through late in the window.

The club are again being linked with new additions ahead of the January transfer window, with a new forward and right-back believed to be wanted by head coach Erik ten Hag.

However, according to the Manchester Evening News, Man United will not be actively pursuing any signings during the winter transfer window.

The report claims that the club want to wait until next summer to begin the next part of their rebuild, which is likely to include the signing of a centre-forward, with Cristiano Ronaldo set to depart.

Competition for Diogo Dalot at right-back is also thought to be a priority, while a recent report claimed that Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham is a leading target in midfield.

Last month, Man United football director John Murtough played down the chances of his side bringing more new players to the club at the start of 2023.

"Ultimately, we made a record level of investment for a single window, reflecting the conditions in the market, but also our commitment to supporting the manager," The Telegraph quoted Murtough as saying.

"We always said that reshaping the squad would take more than a window and we're already working with Erik on the next steps in that process, with a focus on next summer and beyond.

"But it's important to recognise that investment must always be sustainable, meaning that what we spend on players must be supported by revenues over the long-term.

"We ended the summer slightly ahead of where we expected to be in terms of the number of players brought in, so we don't anticipate the same level of activity in future windows, although we will continue to strengthen."

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Donny van de Beek have both been linked with moves away from Man United ahead of the January window, but the club are said to be looking to keep the squad together for the remainder of the campaign.

Man United also have decisions to make when it comes to David de Gea, Diogo Dalot, Luke Shaw, Fred and Marcus Rashford, with all five players due to be out of contract next summer, although the club have the chance to activate one-year extensions on their deals. body check tags ::
