Manchester United could end up in a bidding war over transfer target

Manchester United is desperately in need of more attacking options ahead of the second half of the season after a misfiring attack leaves them with no goal difference on their league standing. The club has had to settle for a relatively low-scoring first half of their campaign.

Erik Ten Hag has grabbed life at United with open arms as the team keeps trying to find their rhythm and balance under his watch as they seek to compete on all fronts this season. Ten's team has been decent so far with Marcus Rashford chipping in the most goals contributions so far this season after his surge to top form.

Erik Ten Hag had hoped to drag out the need for an attack on his squad till next summer but Cristiano Ronaldo's mid-season exit from the club has forced his hand to ensure United get an attack in by January or they could be facing a similar issue as they did the first half of the season.

United have their sights set on several options as they are currently monitoring the situation surrounding these targets at the current clubs and the feasibility of a move as early as January to keep United season goals alive. Atletico Madrid's Joao Felix is one of Unite viable options.

WILL UNITED DO THE DEAL FOR JOAO FELIX?

Jorge Mendes who is Joao Felix's agent has reportedly informed Atletico Madrid of his client's desire to leave in January amidst interest from several clubs including Manchester United. Chelsea and PSG are also reportedly monitoring the situation with the Portuguese international.
