Man Utd transfer is winter transfer window‘appealing’ to England international as Red Devils prepare January move
Joe Williams Ruben Amorim walks off the pitch at the end of a Premier League match.
Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher is ‘open’ to a move to Man Utd in the January transfer window ahead of the World Cup, according to reports.
The Red Devils spent over £200m in the summer transfer market as INEOS backed Ruben Amorim to turn things around after a disastrous 15th-placed finish in the Premier League in 2024/25.
Man Utdbrought in three new attackers in Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, while goalkeeper Senne Lammens and youngster Diego Leon also joined.
Many Man Utd fans and former players thought it was a huge oversight not to sign a new midfielder over the summer, although the Red Devils did make a number of enquiries for players in that position.
Brighton’s Carlos Baleba featured high on their list but his astronomical price tag put Man Utd off, while they made a late enquiry for Gallagher as they looked to do a loan deal for the England international.
Gallagher has made 16 appearances so far this term for Atletico Madrid in all competitions but only four of those have been from the start of games.

And now United In Focusclaim that Gallagher is ‘now open’ to a move to Man Utd in the winter transfer window with INEOS making signing a new midfielder their ‘top priority’ in January.
Former Chelsea midfielder Gallagher is now ‘a likely target ahead of the likes of Elliot Anderson or Carlos Baleba’ in January with their budget set to be tight.
With the World Cup just around the corner, Gallagher reckons he should be in contention for a place in the squadbut he currently has no chance as a bit-part player at Atletico.
And now journalist Graeme Bailey has told United In Focusthat a move to Man Utd is now “an appealing option to him”.

Bailey said: “Gallagher has become increasingly frustrated at Atletico. He is settled in the Spanish capital but he firmly believes he could and should be in contention for England. That is not going to happen without playing.
“Gallagher is aware of the interest and I’m told that United is an appealing option to him.
“United are aware that other clubs are showing an interest, and they will have a decision to make in the coming weeks ahead of the January window.
“Despite being pleased with their form in recent weeks, belief within the club is that additional holding midfield options are required and Gallagher could very well offer that.”
