Man Utd tipped to make ‘two big signings’ and hijack Arsenal transfer

Teddy Sheringham ‘wouldn’t be surprised’ if Manchester United made ‘two big signings’ before the January transfer deadline and says his former club should hijack Arsenal’s move for Alexander Isak. United’s wildly inconsistent form continued on Saturday as Ruben Amorim’s side were beaten 3-1 by Brighton at Old Trafford.

Manchester United held Premier League leaders Liverpool to a 2-2 draw at the start of the month before knocking Arsenal out of the FA Cup despite playing for an hour with ten men. The Red Devils then scored three late goals to avoid an embarrassing defeat to bottom-placed Southampton but any momentum that was being built was halted by Brighton.
United’s defeat – their fourth in six league games – leaves the fallen Premier League giants just 13th in the table, closer to the relegation zone than the Champions League places. Amorim was expected to wait until the summer to invest in his squad but may be tempted to dip into the January market given the club’s underwhelming form.
Ex-United striker Sheringham can envisage his former club landing ‘two big signings’ before the transfer deadline and says Isak would be a ‘perfect’ addition to Old Trafford. Isak has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal but Newcastle are reluctant to lose the striker and value him at more than £100m.
