With the transfer window now closed, a number of Manchester United’s stars who couldn’t be sold may now leave the club as free transfers.
As of January, players like Antony and Christian Eriksen can freely negotiate contracts elsewhere to begin when their current agreements with United come to a close next summer.
So, a lot of teams are now looking for bargain signings to line up for next year.

As such, reports are now coming out that United have lined up another centre-back to hopefully get on a free transfer.
According to SportBild (via SportWitness) United are set to face off with rivals Liverpool to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen.
Whilst Bayern Munich looked to sign the 28-year-old this summer as a replacement for Matthijs de Ligt, they couldn’t come to an agreement on a transfer fee, backing out of the deal.
However, the option of getting the defender for free next summer may still be considered by the German giants.
United and Liverpool may have the edge though with the report explaining that Tah has a desire to play in the Premier League.
Unfortunately for United though, the centre-back does not want to be playing anything less than Champions League football, meaning the club will really need to up their performances if they want to secure the defender.
The Red Devils will be facing Southampton in their first game back, with first team stars Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund returning from injury.
United will undoubtedly be hoping for a win in this away fixture to start on the right foot going forwards. With only three points in three games, some pundits and former players are already worrying about the heights United can reach this year.
