Ruben Amorim will grasp at any positive he can find during his difficult period for Manchester United.
The upcoming January transfer window offer a rare opportunity.
With United’s financial situation uncertain, major signings are unlikely to happen.
That is, unless a key player is sold.
That makes smart recruitment essential.
Focusing on bargains, free transfers, potential swap deals and loans, may be the start of how United look to reshape their squad.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, has provided a promising update that could help United address a key weakness in January.

A quick look at the current squad highlights a glaring issue at left wing-back, where Diogo Dalot continues to fill in.
While Dalot’s effort is commendable, it’s clear that the left wing-back position is not best suited.
His inability to provide balance often disrupts the team’s balance.
Amorim’s system thrives with attacking wing-backs, meaning a more dynamic, forward-thinking player is required in that role.
However, the backline needs experience.
Experience, leadership and know-how at a period where the team needs results.
Noussair Mazraoui has been shuffled across multiple defensive positions, while Leny Yoro is being carefully integrated into the side.
Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans are both likely to leave in the summer, leaving United light at the back.
That’s where Danilo comes in.
At 33, Danilo isn’t a long-term solution.
However, his experience and leadership could be invaluable in stabilising United’s defence.
Romano on X, confirmed that Danilo is “completely out” of Juventus’ plans and will be available in January.
Danilo will not even travel with Juventus squad to Saudi Arabia for Super Cup planned for the next days.

The Brazilian’s versatility makes him an even more attractive option, as he can operate as centre-back and right-back.
The former Manchester City player, would also provide guidance to Yoro and allow youngsters to develop without immediate pressure.
A short-term, cut-price deal would make sense for all parties involved.
