There are rumours that we could see Aleksandar Mitrovic back in the Premier League after his stint with Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, and one of the teams mentioned is United. Mitrovic has appeared as a transfer target for the Red Devils before, and his experience would certainly have some benefits.

However, his wage demands will likely be huge, and for someone who has not played in Europe for a couple of seasons, that does not sound like a smart move for United.

Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa)

Emliano Martinez was linked with a move to Old Trafford before United secured a deal for Senne Lammens. If things do not work out with the youngster right away, or if he needs an experienced head around him, then a deal for Martinez could be reignited.

According to Portuguese news outlet A Bola, United are thought to be targeting a potential move for Sporting midfield player Morten Hjulmand. It is a move that makes sense given he has excelled in Amorim's system in the past.

Carlos Baleba (Brighton)

According to football journalist and transfer expert David Ornstein, United contacted Brighton in the summer to explore the conditions over a potential deal for central midfield player Carlos Baleba. While they were told a deal would be impossible in the summer window, the club remain very interested in the player and could bid for him in January.

According to The Mirror, United already know Conor Gallagher's transfer conditions with reports suggesting that they will try and sign the Atletico Madrid midfielder in January.

According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, United have also watched Atletico full-back Nahuel Molina.

Jon Aramburu (Real Sociedad)

According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, United have watched Real Sociedad full-back Jon Aramburu, who has also attracted interest from Manchester City.

Omar El Hilali (Espanyol)

According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, United are watching Espanyol defender Omar El Hilali.
