Manchester United legend Mikael Silvestre believes that the January transfer window will present three distinct problems to the club’s new part-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Sir Jim’s 25-per-cent buy-in at Old Trafford is due to be confirmed next week, in plenty of time to put plans in place for January.
However, Silvestre has warned the petrochemicals billionaire that the winter window presents three particular difficulties, namely the lack of opportunities to sign players mid-season, the absence of available stars capable of improving Erik ten Hag’s side, and the difficulty of getting good value.
“The January transfer window is always tricky,” Silvestre, who made over 350 appearances for United, told Express Sport in association with bettingexpert.com. “There won’t be many opportunities because it’s a window in which you react.
“It’s difficult to get what you want at the price you want, and the quality you want. You have to assess and see if there is something that can be done.
“Right now there are a lot of injuries and I think the transfer window in January is not the one you focus on. You can do some bits and pieces but it’s really minimal. I don’t see who could come to United and make that team better.
“Players good enough to improve that team are already playing in their current situations. I believe the return of [Lisandro] Martinez and other long-term injuries will give the team a better chance to improve over the second part of the season.”
