4 clubs who must invest in the January Transfer Window

#1 Manchester United

Manchester United tops this list because they are in desperate need of reinforcements. The Red Devils have scored 29 and conceded 29 in their first 17 games and are a long way behind the leaders and the trendsetters. Unless Old Trafford acts fast, that ever-growing distance from their rivals could increase further.

United are currently 6th in the table, 22 points behind Liverpool at the top, who have played a game more. They are 11 points off Chelsea at the 4th position and 8 points behind Arsenal at 5th. New Caretaker Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a job on his hands and he will be desperate to understand the quality of his squad before investing in January. Apparently, the Norwegian will be handed a £50m war chest to play with.

As of now, Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld is supposed to be the man that the club has their eyes on to solve their defensive problem. Brazilian winger Douglas Costa of Juventus is also is the news regarding a possible move to Old Trafford. However, fitting them both within the £50m will be tough. With already a new manager at the helm, United must act fast in the transfer window to secure any hopes of ending the season with a trophy.
