Manchester United could sign a new right-back or holding midfielder during the January transfer window, according to a report.

Manchester United could reportedly bring a new right-back or holding midfielder to the club before the January transfer window closes for business.

The Red Devils are currently competing on three fronts, fighting for a top-four finish in the Premier League, in addition to battling for success in the FA Cup and Champions League.

A recent report claimed that the 20-time English champions were unlikely to make any first-team signings this month, with the club instead focusing on outgoings.

However, Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves and Brighton & Hove Albion's Tariq Lamptey are among those to be linked with moves to Old Trafford in recent days.

According to the Daily Mail, Ralf Rangnick's side want to sign a new right-back and holding midfielder, and a deal for one of those could be completed before the end of the month.

Man United have also been credited with an interest in Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria, who is set to become a free agent this summer.

Rangnick's team will be looking to make it back-to-back wins over Aston Villa when they face Steven Gerrard's side in the Premier League on Saturday.
