5 high-profile transfers that can still happen in January

#1 Jean Seri to Manchester United

Can United beat City again?

Jose Mourinho is not done with his transfer business yet as he is looking to add more steel to his central midfield. With Carrick retiring and Fellaini’s future in doubt, United need a solid defensive midfielder to backup Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba.

According to Express, the Manchester rivals will go head to head again for the second time in January transfer window. The 26-year-old is regarded as one of the best midfielders in Europe right now. He is known for creating chances for his teammates and has a passing accuracy of 89.5% in Ligue 1 last season.

With 7 goals and 9 assists, he was one of Ligue 1’s standout performers last season. He has a £35 million release clause in his current contract at Nice and top European clubs are looking to take advantage of that.

The Red Devils are the front-runners, however, Pep Guardiola sees him as an alternate option if they fail in their bid to bring Fred to Etihad. No official bids were made for the Ivorian international, but, with 6 days remaining, anything can happen.
