Erik ten Hag needs new players, so Jadon Sancho might be the next player to leave as talks over a loan agreement with Borussia Dortmund continue. However, there is no indication that any players will be joining anytime soon. That being said, there is a lot of gossip circulating about the Theatre of Dreams, so the rumor mill is really cranking.

10 Hag looks at Sessegnon
Ryan Sessegnon, a defender for Tottenham, has surfaced as a possible target for United, the Independent reports.

Spurs’ return of Reguilon leaves United with a slight deficit at left back as Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw are both dealing with injuries this year. With Malacia getting closer to taking action again, Reguilon became surplus to requirements.

Ten Hag, however, is drawn to Sessegnon because of his versatility in playing both left-back and in a more advanced role on the wing. Ten Hag may make a move for the 23-year-old to help fill the Sancho-shaped void.

Choupo-Moting approves the action
Eric Choupo-Moting, the striker for Bayern Munich who was once famous for playing for Stoke City in the Premier League, has decided to leave the German champions this month despite United’s interest.

The 34-year-old, who also had a great time with Paris Saint-Germain, is reportedly open to returning to the Premier League this month, and United is one of the teams keeping an eye on him, according to BILD.

Ten Hag unveils a £22m scheme
Girona’s left-back United is scouting a number of players in hopes of making a transfer this month, including Miguel Gutierrez.

Big clubs in Europe, like AC Milan and Dortmund, have taken notice of the defender’s La Liga exploits with admiration. United is one of the possible suitors as well; according to The Sun, Red Devils scouts have been to watch Gutierrez in action several times in the past few weeks.
