The January transfer window is fast approaching, and Manchester United are bracing themselves for a crucial period that could shape the future of the club. The uncertainty surrounding Marcus Rashford's future has sparked concerns, with the player's absence from the matchday squad in the recent Manchester derby triumph fueling speculation about his potential departure, according to ManchesterUnitedEveningNews

Rashford's situation has been a subject of discussion, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly expressing interest in signing the player last year. While Manchester United did not rule out Rashford's departure during the summer transfer window, sanctioning any transfer would likely necessitate a replacement, given the limited forward options in Ruben Amorim's squad.

Victor Osimhen has emerged as a top target for Manchester United, with the club reportedly making contact with the player's entourage about a potential transfer. Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, remains under contract at Napoli, and his future is likely to be a subject of interest from top European clubs, including Juventus, who are preparing to replace Dusan Vlahovic.

In another development, Randal Kolo Muani could reportedly leave Paris Saint-Germain on loan during the January transfer window, with Manchester United expressing interest in the player last month.

A temporary move is considered most likely, although a permanent transfer could materialize barely 18 months after PSG agreed to a £77million deal with Eintracht Frankfurt for the Frenchman.

As the January transfer window approaches, Manchester United face a critical period that could define their season. With key players' futures uncertain, the club must navigate the transfer market carefully to strengthen their squad and achieve their goals.
