Time is running out if Manchester United are to complete any transfers in the January transfer window. United have until 7pm on Monday 2 February to finalise any deals and add to their first-team squad for the rest of the Premier League campaign.
United will remain alert to any market opportunities that might arise in the final week of the window, as they were when they attempted to sign Antoine Semenyo, but there is no interest in short-term solutions until the end of the season. The club would like to sign both a midfielder and a left winger, though they would not be concerned if they finished the month without additions in those positions.
It means the final week of the window will focus on player exits, with several loans expected to be sanctioned. That won't stop fans dreaming though, and here is a look at the transfers that could be completed in a dream end to the window.

United want to sign a left winger in the summer and it is difficult to see them signing anyone this month. Yan Diomande is a target, but RB Leipzig have no plans to sell him before deadline day. This is very much a dream.

United initially ruled out a sale for Zirkzee this month and he is expected to stay until the end of the season. They would let him leave if they could sign a new forward though.

United do not expect to sign a midfielder until the summer but will be alert to any opportunities that might arise. They would like to sign someone with Premier League experience.
