The 25-year-old Ghana international has six goals and three assists in 14 Premier League appearances this season. Despite a recent seven-game scoring drought, United see him as a versatile option who could even slot in as a wingback, though the club’s priority remains strengthening Ruben Amorim’s midfield.

From Italy to England and Germany, the transfer rumors are coming thick and fast—January is shaping up to be a blockbuster window.
