Manchester United have been offered a new midfielder on loan for the rest of the season, while Toby Collyer looks set for his next move.
Manchester United could be set for a busy January transfer window, although that doesn’t necessarily mean a huge amount of incomings.
Michael Carrick is unlikely to be given many new additions, but he has now been offered a former Premier League midfielder on loan until the end of the season.
However, the main focus of the winter window for director of football Jason Wilcox will be securing new loan moves for several academy talents.
Harry Amass and Elyh Harrison were recalled to Old Trafford in the January transfer window, as was Toby Collyer due to injury. All three look likely for new loan moves, but Amass’ future has now been put into doubt.
United offered former Leicester man on loan
If United are to bring in any new additions in January, it is likely to be a central midfielder, despite the strong links to AFC Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo at the start of the month.
Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton are the three midfielders who have been regularly linked with United, but they are all more likely to join in the summer due to their high price tags.
With Carrick only likely to stay until the end of the season, loan deals may be the best option to bolster the Champions League hopes.
As per the Daily Mail, United have now been offered Wilfred Ndidi on loan until the end of the season from Besiktas. The Nigeria international could be the perfect type of deal to join Carrick’s squad.
However, United aren’t currently pursuing the former Leicester City midfielder, despite a clear need for a new central midfielder, especially with the latest Collyer update.
Collyer set for loan move
Collyer was recalled from his West Brom loan due to injury, but won’t return to the club due to a lack of minutes when he was fully fit.
It is understood that other Championship sides are exploring a deal for the former Brighton youngster this month, but the Daily Mail have confirmed who has won the race.
The report states Collyer’s loan move to Hull City is likely to be confirmed next week, following heavy links over the start of 2026.
He wants to return to full fitness before leaving Old Trafford for the second time this season. Collyer will need to play a regular role if he has any hope of staying at United next campaign.
