Man Utd transfer news: Medical completed as Rashford nears exit and update issued on striker talks

Manchester United are ramping up their business as the January transfer window nears its halfway stage. United have shown clear signs of improvement under Ruben Amorim in recent weeks, with the 2-2 draw at Liverpool followed up by a backs-to-the-wall win over Arsenal on penalties in the third round of the FA Cup. But the work Amorim is undertaking hasn’t prevented United from looking to strengthen their squad in the transfer market.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is open to selling any player, should a suitable offer arrive, and that stance is pertinent as the stalemate over a new contract continues with Kobbie Mainoo. Bayern Munich have now joined Chelsea in showing interest in the academy graduate.
Meanwhile, talks are continuing in Italy over the possible loan move for Marcus Rashford to AC Milan. But there is plenty else going on behind the scenes at United right now, so allow Mirror Football to take you through the best of it. Young defender Diego Leon underwent a medical on Monday after flying to Manchester over the weekend. The 17-year-old left-back is poised to sign a pre-contract agreement with the club before returning to Cerro Porteno in Paraguay for the rest of the season.
Amorim has identified left-back as a problem area, with Luke Shaw’s injury issues continuing and doubts over Tyrell Malacia, who has been linked with a move to Como this month. The Dutchman has only just returned from a long injury lay-off and United would consider a loan with an option to buy.
