AFTER another lacklustre season, it looks like there's changes coming at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side continue to under-perform and go into the January transfer window a mammoth 27 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.

As we head into the key transfer period, here's four players Man Utd have already targeted since the window opened on January 1.

James Maddison

CREATIVITY and guile is lacking in this current United side.

Paul Pogba is constantly injured, Andreas Pereira is yet to really kick on in a United shirt and the less said about Jesse Lingard the better.

And as a result, Leicester star Maddison is reportedly United's number one target.

A fearless playmaker, the former Norwich and Coventry star is knocking on the door of the English team and his ascent to a Big Six club looks inevitable.

Leicester are reluctant to sell in January though and it's thought Maddison could command a fee around £60million.

Christian Eriksen

ANOTHER saga which continues to rumble on and on.

Eriksen looked set to leave Tottenham in the summer and Real Madrid seemed to be the most probable destination.

That move didn't materialise, but with his contract up at the end of the season Spurs could cash in on the Danish playmaker.

Eriksen was limited to just six substitute appearances in the league under Mourinho before he started in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Norwich.

But United look set to wait until the summer when they can bag Eriksen on a free.

Boubakary Soumare

LILLE seem happy to part with Soumare in the January transfer window.

But reports suggest that the Ligue 1 side are looking for whopping £50m.

Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal are in a three-way tussle for the 20-year-old's signature, who joined Lille on a free transfer from PSG back in 2017.

A £34m bid from Wolves was rejected last summer but now a whole host of clubs are set to scramble for his signature.

Soumare has been likened to Paul Pogba and impressed against Chelsea during the Champions League group stages.

He is yet to register a goal or an assist but has made 78 recoveries from defensive midfield so far this term.

Edinson Cavani

PSG striker Cavani has reportedly been the subject of interest from Man Utd and Arsenal.

The Uruguayan forward, 32, – is out of contract in the summer – is thought to be on the brink of a move to Atletico Madrid.

But reports claim that Cavani is also considering offers from United, Arsenal and Inter Milan despite his preference being to play under Diego Simeone.

This season has been frustrating for Cavani who has three goals from 11 games, but last term crashed in 27 in 42 matches for club and country.
