The January switch window is simply around the corner. Clubs are making ready to bring in reinforcements for the relaxation of the season.
But a few clubs are looking beyond January. It is important to have a clean course of action for the summer time and Man Utd are one of those.
Everything appears to indicate that Paul Pogba will leave. His contract expires in June and there may be no progress on his new contract. United are accepting that his days at the club are numbered.
Man Utd have several options on the table to replace him, in keeping with 'The Independent'. Among the ones is reportedly Frenkie de Jong. The English club are looking for a participant of his characteristics and they may try to get him in January.
Barcelona's sensitive financial scenario could suggest that he may want to go away. The English press are speculating on his departure as they say his sale may want to help pay for Sterling's signing. That could not be further from the fact even though.
De Jong wants to stay at the Camp Nou and Xavi counts on him. He has made it clean to the board that De Jong has a place within the XI and, therefore, hopes the Dutchman isn't always bought.
Another choice for Man Utd is that if De Jong does now not want to come back Old Trafford, West Ham's Declan Rice might be an alternative. He has been on Man Utd's radar for a while.
