"But despite United's recent loss of form, winning just once in their last seven games in all competitions, Carrick will be expected to work with the players at his disposal. Sources have said that United are aware of the need to bolster their midfield options, but with none of their leading targets available this month -- United are interested in Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson and Brighton's Carlos Baleba -- the club will not make short-term signings to plug the gaps."
"With a number of players returning from injury and forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo set to be available against Manchester City this weekend, the United squad is now almost back to full strength and the club hierarchy believe Carrick has enough depth in his squad for the team's 17 Premier League games this season. Sources have said that outgoings are also unlikely, with Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo all expected to remain at the club this month."
Michael Carrick was confirmed as Manchester United head coach until the end of the season. Carrick will work with the players at his disposal. The club has no plans to make new signings during the January transfer window. United acknowledge a need to bolster midfield options but none of their leading targets — Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson and Brighton's Carlos Baleba — are available this month. Several players are returning from injury, and forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo should be available against Manchester City. The squad is almost back to full strength and outgoings are unlikely; Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo are expected to stay.
