Onana rival eyed, Ten Hag ‘hot’ on wonderkid

Football FanCast brings you a Manchester United transfer round-up for the January window.

United had a busy transfer window in the summer, seeing seven new faces come through the doors at the Theatre of Dreams and another 11 go the other way.

With us now in the January transfer window and United sitting seventh in the Premier League, Erik ten Hag will be eager to further reinforce his squad and replace some of the impending departures.

Lucas Bergvall – Djurgarden: According to Fussball News (via Sport Witness), Manchester United are very hot in the race to sign Djurgarden talent, Lucas Bergvall.

It is claimed that the Red Devils have put the feelers out for the youngster, who is only 17 years old.

The good thing for United is that he’s very fond of the club and had two trials when he was 14, so it shouldn’t take much in terms of persuasion.

But his fee will reportedly be in the region of £6.8-8.5m, so it could be a gamble.

Ivan Provedel – Lazio: According to an Italian outlet, Man United are contemplating signing Ivan Provedel from Lazio.

Altay Bayindir has failed to gain the trust of Erik ten Hag and Andre Onana hasn’t hit the heights since his summer move, so it may make sense to bring a goalkeeper in this month.

However, the Italian club don’t want to let their star man leave and are planning to tie the goalkeeper down to a new long-term contract.

Latest Manchester United transfer news – out

Anthony Martial: As per Sky Sports, Anthony Martial is determined to see out his contract at Old Trafford, with just a matter of months remaining until he can leave on a free.

This month is the last opportunity for Man United to cash in on the Frenchman, but it seems the 28-year-old is keen to pick his future club freely in the summer.

It has been a fairly disastrous spell for the forward under Ten Hag, having played just over 2,000 minutes of action across 48 appearances (via Transfermarkt).

And although he has only made five starts in the Premier League this term, it appears the forward will remain at Old Trafford to receive the final months of his £250k-per-week deal.
