With the 2023 winter transfer window now open, we round up the players linked with moves in and out of Manchester United.
Wolvesremain interested inManchester Unitedright-backAaron Wan-Bissaka.
They are looking at other options as United have yet to decide whether Wan-Bissaka will be allowed to leave in this window.
Wan-Bissaka came off the bench to replace the injured Diogo Dalot in the League Cup quarter-final victory over Charlton.
Manchester United have a "deal in principle in place" with Burnley to sign striker Wout Weghorst.
The Dutchman is currently on loan at Turkish side Besiktas and United are still waiting for the termination of that contract to be agreed between Burnley and Besiktas before any deal can be finalised for a switch to Old Trafford.
United are conscious of the complexities of the deal as it requires the alignment of three clubs and are keeping all other options open if the transfer does not come to fruition.
Manchester United continue to assess all options with regard to signing a striker and a right-back.
If a player does arrive in January, it will almost certainly be on loan but there is a significant chance the club will not sign anyone next month.

A permanent deal in January cannot be completely ruled out but only if a long-term target becomes available, and that spending would form part of next summer's budget.
As it stands, a loan move is more likely than a permanent deal - if they are to bring anyone in over the January transfer window.
