# Manchester United: Fans react to talkSPORT claim

**Manchester United are not planning to make any ‘significant’ signings during the January transfer window.**

That’s according to [talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1479074819488501762) sources, which, as to be expected, has had a number of United fans talking on social media.

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick suffered his first home [defeat](https://www.skysports.com/manchester-united-results) against Wolves on Monday evening, with United suffering a blow in their bid to finish in the top four.

Rangnick has [admitted](https://strettynews.com/2022/01/01/ralf-rangnick-discusses-manchester-uniteds-january-transfer-plans/) previously that the club are not considering additions, believing the current squad is‘ big enough’. And, according to [talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1479074819488501762), United are indeed not expecting to be busy when it comes to players arriving this month.

The club’s focus is on the summer window, with a central midfielder thought to be a priority.

The likes of Kalvin Phillips, Amadou Haidara and Boubacar Kamara have all been [linked](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-midfielder-transfer-news-25868233) with moves to Old Trafford, whereas [rumours](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/12509568/manchester-united-transfer-news-wolves-ruben-neves-and-marseilles-boubacar-kamara-among-targets) regarding a move for Wolves’ Ruben Neves have recently surfaced.

However, they could perhaps do with one of those additions now – none of Fred, Scott McTominay or Nemanja Matic have really stood up and proven themselves as top dog in midfield this season, with none of the trio averaging a match rating above 7/10 ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Manchester-United)).

### United fans react

Well-known page [@utdreport](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1479075179292676113) relayed [talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1479074819488501762)’s transfer claim on Twitter to their almost 800,000 followers. This is what these supporters had to say in reply, with many not exactly thrilled.

**“I knew it… The board was content with CR7 shirt sales but not spending in Jan on reinforcements. At this rate I don’t think we’ll even make Europa!!”**

**“So we’re not fighting for top 4? Settling pretty much then get to the summer and not buy any players because we lost out on the Champions League money. Is this a business or a football club?”**
