Erik ten Hag insist Manchester United will not sign any players in January despite their slow start to the 2023\/2024 campaign. This will be music to the ears of Premier League sides who are linked to the same players as the Red Devils in the New Year with Arsenal and Liverpool set to benefit from United’s absence in the transfer market.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag let his winter transfer plans slip during an interview with the\u00a0United We Stand fanzine. \u201cI don\u2019t think so \u2014 and if so, the approach from United should be that if you can improve your team, then you should do,” he said when asked if United would be bringing in any players next month.<\/p>\n
“What we expect from every player coming to Carrington every day is for them to give their maximum, to give their best. As a club, you have to look for improvements, so if you can find better and it\u2019s realistic financially and with financial fair play, I think the club has to go with it.<\/p>\n
“But realistically, in relation to the market, most of the time you don\u2019t attract the best players in the winter. The top, top players will not leave their clubs in the winter. It\u2019s players who are disappointed, injured or just not the right fit or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Should United choose not to fork out any funds next month then it would clear the path for Liverpool’s move for\u00a0Sporting Lisbon defender Goncalo Inacio. The Reds are currently trying to identify long-term centre-back options with Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip both nearing their mid-thirties.<\/p>\n
Liverpool scouts believe the 22-year-old would fit the bill for the kind of player they are looking but United have also been linked with him. It was thought United may have an advantage over Liverpool when it comes to the deal considering that Inacio is represented by the same agent as United skipper Bruno Fernandes but if they aren’t dipping into the market then Liverpool would be the favourites to snap him up.<\/p>\n
