da marjack bet： Manchester United are pressing ahead in their hunt for new signings and could now be set to target a talented defender to help solidify Ruben Amorim’s backline.

Man Utd keen to keep pace in Premier League with January signings

da bet esporte： Admittedly, the Red Devils’ stalemate with Wolves was hardly a clash to remember as they closed out the year with another frustrating Premier League result.

However, Manchester United have shown promising signs this campaign, and there is a feeling that the best is yet to come under Amorim, who is likely to be given funds to spend in January to bolster his depleted squad.

Whether statement arrivals or modest profile additions are on the agenda remains to be seen, the Red Devils’ reported interest in Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta does indicate that INEOS could show ambition if circumstances were to align.

With the World Cup on the horizon and places to be fought for in respective national squads, Amorim may try and capitalise on Conor Gallagher’s situation at Atletico Madrid. He is said to be leading the race to sign the Three Lions man.

Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee may be pushed closer to the exit door if that were to be the case, creating a potential cycle of incomings and outgoings that will likely provide some freshness to the squad as the Red Devils continue to fight on all fronts.

Ultimately, January is never a simple month for clubs to conduct business, especially given the amount of absences most Premier League clubs are having to deal with at this point in time.

Either way, Manchester United are expected to be active this window and could now make a move for a talented defender from one of Europe’s top-five leagues.

Man Utd seeking move for Rennes star Jeremy Jacquet

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United are plotting a move for Rennes star Jeremy Jacquet as they seek defensive reinforcements alongside bodies in midfield to shore up Amorim’s pool of options.

Nevertheless, a deal will be difficult to conduct this month for any interested suitors, though his situation is fluid and could change rapidly depending on the level of admiration for his talents.

Ayden Heaven has stepped up in light of injuries. However, more depth is needed if Manchester United want to sustain their bid to push for Champions League football.

Jacquet has the profile and requisite qualities needed to make an impact at Old Trafford, albeit he is unlikely to be short of suitors this month and beyond, eye-catchingly valued at around the £35m mark.
