Manchester United will look at signing a ‘creative’ player late in the transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Red Devils have been linked with Marco Reus and Youri Tielemans so far this winter amid the uncertainty over their Borussia Dortmund and Leicester City futures. However, a third recruit of the window isn’t necessarily guaranteed to arrive.
Manchester United started the month with John Murtough telling fans to expect a ‘quiet’ transfer window.
But the Red Devils have since taken action to bring in two players, with Jack Butland and Wout Weghorst arriving from Crystal Palace and Burnley respectively.
Now, fans are hoping United will sign a midfielder.
Donny van de Beek has been sidelined until the end of the season, having picked up a serious injury against Bournemouth earlier in the month.
And Romano has now claimed United will look at signing a ‘creative’ player towards the end of the transfer window.
No names are mentioned right now but the club are being linked with both Reus and Tielemans.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, meanwhile, Ten Hag admitted he was open to further reinforcements arriving.
"As Manchester United, always you have to look for solutions and look for better [players] and that's what we will do," he said.
"We will be doing our research and if there are opportunities, then we will have to go for it."
And Ten Hag also believes United can beat Arsenal on Sunday despite the absence of Casemiro.
"In the moment we played them, you could already see the manager's coaching style was for a long time working in the team," Ten Hag said of Arsenal.
