"Manchester United are reportedly preparing for a significant shake-up this January, willing to listen to offers for four first-team players in order to generate funds for a long-planned midfield overhaul. The players reportedly up for discussion are Kobbie Mainoo, Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Tyrell Malacia, according to ESPN. Under manager Ruben Amorim, United have earmarked the midfield as a priority area for reinforcement."
"Still just 20, Mainoo is seen as one of England's brightest midfield prospects. However, this season he has struggled for consistent starts under Amorim. Despite potential, sources say the club will entertain offers. A loan or sale could be controversial among fans but might give him the playing time he craves. Zirkzee has struggled for playing time as well and his recent minutes have only come due to the injury suffered by Benjamin Sesko."
Manchester United plan a significant squad reshuffle in January and will consider offers for Kobbie Mainoo, Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Tyrell Malacia to raise funds. The club has prioritized strengthening midfield options under manager Ruben Amorim and faces financial constraints and a crowded squad. Mainoo, aged 20, has struggled for consistent starts and could be loaned or sold to gain playing time. Zirkzee's minutes remain limited and his long-term future is uncertain. Ugarte has struggled to adapt to the Premier League and reportedly falls outside Amorim's plans. Selling Malacia in winter could recoup a fee before he leaves on a free transfer.
