Manchester United January signings

In the January transfer window of the 2020/2021 season, many Manchester United fans believed that they would get a right-winger on Sancho, but sadly United completed the signing of the 18-year-old wonder kid Amad Diallo from Atlanta. Though Manchester United was keen to sign a right-winger, they risked it all this season on having Anthony Martial playing the wing. Manchester United always scout the young talents so it was not a shock that the deal will go through. 

Apart from signing a potential baller, United had other priorities to sort out. Especially the backline of our defense. Manchester United have conceded 31 goals this season, only 5 less than last season despite playing only 24 matches. The backline needs to get some upgrade. 

Despite the pairing of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof as our starting defense, I believe Harry needs someone who is fast at the ball and can make quick tackles, and compliment his lack of pace and reaction.
