Manchester United have been one of the busiest Premier League teams recently in adding new players to their squad.
They spent heavily in the summer transfer window, backed by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and led by the club’s new hierarchy.
Manager Erik ten Hag was given the funds to make new signings and made sure to add quality in attack, midfield and defence.
With teams now focused on the January transfer window, the Red Devils have already identified their midfield target for the winter transfer window.
according to filesMan United are considering a surprise move for Leicester City midfielder Harry Winks.
The England midfielder has revived his career at Leicester after leaving Tottenham in the summer of 2023.
Winks, who has 10 caps for England, has become a key member of Leicester’s starting line-up and his contribution was immense in their successful Championship season.
He helped the club achieve promotion to the Premier League and was one of the first names on the team sheet last season under manager Enzo Maresca.
After Maresca’s departure, new coach Steve Cooper has continued to show confidence in the midfielder.

Ten Hag believes Winks would be the ideal midfielder to play the type of football he wants at Old Trafford.
The other reason for Man United’s interest in signing the midfielder is because he will be available on the cheap.
His contract at the King Power Stadium runs out in 2026 and the Foxes could look to cash in on him next year.
Winks is a versatile midfielder who can play as a number 10 or as a holding midfielder who can sit in front of the defence.
With Casemiro and Christian Eriksen not the same players they once were, a new addition is needed in midfield and Ten Hag are keen to sign the former Tottenham midfielder who has impressed during his time at Leicester City.
