Four stars Manchester United could snap up for bargain fees in the January transfer window
 Manchester United could explore the market for bargains during the January transfer window as takeover rumors swirl and reinforcements are sought.
SportsDias outlines four players whose contracts are about to expire that United could pursue in a cheap deal next month.
Youri Tielemans
Youri Tielemans’ contract with Leicester City is entering its final six months, and he apparently has no intention of extending his stay at the King Power Stadium.Â
Mikel Arteta is rumored to be waiting until the summer before signing a free transfer, with Arsenal being the most heavily linked club.
United might grab the Belgian on the cheap in January, as Leicester would likely be eager to sell to avoid losing him for nothing.
The 25-year-old represents an excellent opportunity to get an established Premier League player at a discount.
Marcus Thuram
Marcus Thuram, 25, has been linked to a move to the Premier League as his contract with Borussia Monchengladbach nears expiration.
United is set to attempt to acquire a new striker in January, and the France international might be among Erik ten Hag’s top targets.
Thuram, who has scored 13 goals in 17 club games this season, is mostly a striker but can can play on either wing. The Red Devils may attempt to sign him six months before the start of the new year, with Liverpool and Newcastle United also in the running.
Memphis Depay
Memphis Depay will almost probably leave Barcelona in the summer if he is unable to find a way out of the club within the next month.Â
However, Ten Hag might provide him precisely that, allowing him to return to M16 following a poor first stint with United.
The Dutchman is rumored to be attempting to terminate his contract so that he may leave Camp Nou for free in January.
And with his previous team searching for attacking reinforcements after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, a reunion in 2023 would not be strange.
Youssoufa Moukoko
Youssoufa Moukoko is quickly becoming one of the most intriguing transfer prospects of 2023. The wonderkid’s contract negotiations with Borussia Dortmund have apparently stagnated, and United are supposedly among the numerous European heavyweights monitoring the issue.
The 18-year-old Moukoko is allowed to speak with foreign teams in January, so the Red Devils may either sign him for the summer or offer Dortmund a fee to beat out the competition. The German international has demonstrated his talent this season and might be next year’s steal.
