With Erik ten Hag in charge, the Premier League club have showed clear signs of improvement this season, sitting three points off fourth spot with a game in hand.

Summer signings such as Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Antony have certainly strengthened United's squad but they're showing little sign of slowing up as they target further additions in January and beyond.

Several names have already been linked with a move to Old Trafford as the club plot more headline arrivals.

The signing of Argentine World Cup winner Martinez over the summer certainly boosted Man United's defensive line, slotting in alongside Raphael Varane, with Luke Shaw and the in-form Diego Dalot at full-back.

While Casemiro is clearly a top-class player for Ten Hag to have in midfield, United have been linked with big-money moves for both Jude Bellingham and Frenkie de Jong.

Bellingham looks set to have his pick of the Premier League's biggest clubs with United, Liverpool and Manchester City all keen on the Borussia Dortmund starlet, who may cost up to £130million.

According to reports, the 19-year-old is near the top of United's list of targets, alongside De Jong.

The Barcelona star has been a long-time target for the Red Devils and is likely to be on Ten Hag's list of targets once again.

Bruno Fernandes and new signing Antony are nailed on starters for United in the coming months, while the recent form of Marcus Rashford means that he'll be hoping to establish himself as a one of the club's most prolific attackers.

With Cristiano Ronaldo moving on, however, there's a real need for United to bring in a proven striker and that man could be Cody Gakpo.

The PSV Eindhoven attacker has been in wonderful form this term, scoring 13 goals and bagging 18 assists in all competitions for Ruud van Nistelrooy's side, leading to him confirming that the player may well move on in January.

With United leading the queue of teams interested in the 23-year-old over the summer it seems likely that the player will be targeted once again, only this time there will be a real need to get a deal completed as United look towards the second half of the season.
