However, reports claim the Dutchman&#8217;s plans behind the scenes differ from his public stance.<\/p>\n<p>January is a notoriously challenging month to recruit players who will upgrade a squad, with most clubs completing their business in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag sanctioned emergency loans for Jack Butland, Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst last winter but has splashed over \u00a3400million across his two summer windows as United boss.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the Red Devils are expected to work with another tight winter budget next month amid Financial Fair Play restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with a United fanzine, Ten Hag admitted that while he was always open to opportunities in the market, any significant January deals were unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think [we will spend a lot]. As a club, you have to look for improvements,&#8221; Ten Hag told United We Stand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So if you can find better and it&#8217;s realistic financially and with Financial Fair Play, the club has to go with it. But most of the time, you don&#8217;t attract the best players in the winter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click\u00a0<\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong>\u00a0to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>RB Leipzig &#8216;make Werner promise during private meeting&#8217; as Man Utd weigh up move[TRANSFERS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Erik-ten-Hag-will-want-signings-in-January-5109245.jpg?r=1702293504620\"><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag may need to sell players to raise funds for any desired moves, but there are reportedly plans for incomings at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fabrizio Romano, it appears likely that United will be busy in the new year to improve the Dutchman&#8217;s troublesome second season in charge.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s claimed that the Red Devils have held internal talks about potential striker targets to help ease the goalscoring pressure on Rasmus Hojlund.<\/p>\n<p>The report adds that a new defender could also be on the agenda amid Ten Hag&#8217;s dissatisfaction with the current balance of his centre-back options.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd told what to fear most against Liverpool as 7-0 repeat concern raised[QUOTES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man City and Juventus &#8216;organise immediate meeting&#8217; to stop star joining Man Utd[NEWS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Bournemouth manager Iraola candidly explains simple gameplan that buried Man Utd[REACTION] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Jadon-Sancho-is-among-the-Man-Utd-stars-up-for-sale-5109248.jpg?r=1702293504732\"><\/p>\n<p>United have a handful of players reportedly in the shop window who could help fund January business.<\/p>\n<p>Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho look almost certain to leave Old Trafford, while Raphael Varane and Casemiro are said to be up for sale.<\/p>\n<p>United have been linked with several strikers potentially available this winter, including Stuttgart&#8217;s free-scoring Serhou Guirassy and RB Leipzig&#8217;s Timo Werner.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, defenders touted as Red Devils targets &#8211; including Jean-Clair Todibo, Antonio Silva and Jarrad Branthwaite &#8211; would likely demand a fee the club won&#8217;t be able to cough up until next summer.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1844240\/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Erik-ten-Hag-January\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten Hag vows to take responsibility as Man Utd humbled by Bournemouth Erik ten Hag has insisted that Manchester United <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
