The Season That May Not Stand
They had been blown away by their arch-rivals Manchester City in the first leg of the semi-final of the Carabao Cup. The Cityzens eventually retained their title They have failed to secure a victory against Wolves in the third round of the FA Cup. Now they have to play a rematch to qualify for the next round. So, things are certainly not going in the right direction for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.
The club management of the Red Devils are also sensing that something needs to change and the change has to be made as soon as possible. To change the whole scenario, the Red Devils need a few new recruits in this January transfer window. One central attacking midfielder is in the priority list of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at this moment.
James Maddison fits all the criteria that is required. However, the club management of the Foxes have clarified that they would not sell any player any time soon. They have started off the season really well. It is obvious they would have wanted to maintain that in the second half of the season as well. They will add a few players in their squad to increase the squad depth in this winter transfer window.
Will This Manchester United Target Move To Old Trafford?
Manchester United had been linked with Bruno Fernandes too for a long time. They signed him eventually in January. James Maddison is the latest addition in the wishlist of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
