ten Hag previews Man Utd's FA Cup tie against Reading
Manchester United have had a solid, if unspectacular, January transfer window so far. Jack Butland and Wout Weghorst have both moved to Old Trafford, with the pair arriving on loan from Crystal Palace and Burnley respectively. But with Erik ten Hag open to late signings, anything could happen.
Manchester United made Butland their first signing of the winter window.
The goalkeeper was drafted in from Palace as a replacement for Martin Dubravka, who returned to Newcastle after an underwhelming stint at the club.
United always knew they needed a forward to replace Cristiano Ronaldo following the 37-year-old’s sudden exit in November.
And despite links to Joao Felix and Alvaro Morata, the Red Devils ended up bringing in Weghorst instead - with the Netherlands international opening his account for the club in Wednesday’s 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
United are open to making late signings this month if the right opportunity arises, however.
So Express Sport now takes a look at three players who could join the Red Devils before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday.

United are poised to send Anthony Elanga on loan to Borussia Dortmund, with the Sweden international struggling for opportunities during the first half of the season.
And with the Red Devils linked with Marco Reus, it’s possible a deal can be agreed.
Reus’ contract is due to expire at the end of the season, with Dortmund currently unwilling to tie him down.
United recently held talks with the forward’s entourage about a possible switch, with Reus’ representatives attending the club’s stirring 2-1 win over Manchester City earlier in the month.
Reus has been plagued by injuries over the course of his career but United may feel he’s a gamble worth taking given his obvious talent and huge experience.
