The January transfer window is well underway and Manchester United may look to the market to bolster their squad before the month is finished.

Erik ten Hag is now in his second window in charge of the club and could want to add more players to his roster, after signing the likes of Lisandro Martinez, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia in the summer.

One area in which the Dutchman could look to strengthen is the attacking department and Burnley centre-forward Wout Weghorst could be on his way to Old Trafford in the coming weeks.

Journalist Ryan Taylor recently told GIVEMESPORT that the forward “would love” to sign for the Red Devils and said: “I think it will happen. I think there are a lot of indications so far that the deal is very much on the right track.”

Hoping to extend on their recent purple patch on Tuesday night, Taunton will make the trip to Kent in midweek when they meet Dover.

Starting with the hosts, losing their National League status last season after a nightmare campaign in Kent, Dover once again find themselves at the heart of another public struggle. Opening 2023 with back-to-back defeats against Hungerford and Dulwich Hamlet, some around the Crabble Athletic Ground could be looking over their shoulder at another potential relegation scrap. Although the Whites might have impressed with their October flurry, there is no doubt that the midweek hosts have really come crashing back down to earth. Picking up just a pair of points from any of their last five sixth-tier matchups, it should also be highlighted that Dover have claimed just a sole victory from any of their

Hoping to find a route back to the top of the La Liga table, Real Madrid will make the trip to European contenders Villarreal on Saturday afternoon.

Villarreal

Starting with the hosts, marking their return to La Liga duties on New Year’s Eve as they claimed a 2-1 victory at home against Valencia, it is no secret that Villarreal have a top-six finish on their wishlist this season. Last seen earlier in the week extending on their Copa del Rey adventure thanks to a rampant 5-1 win away at Segunda outfit Cartagena, Quique Setien’s men will now be hoping to find some stability in 2023. While the Yellow Submarine might have entered the World Cup’s winter break with a 1-0 victory away at Espanyol on November 9th, the one-time Barcelona boss has seen his side claim just four wins from any

In an all-Premier League showdown on Friday night, Manchester United will look to extend on their FA Cup adventure when they welcome Everton to Old Trafford.

Starting with the hosts, putting in another rampant display earlier in the week as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp against Bournemouth on home soil, Manchester United are enjoying quite the purple patch. With Erik ten Hag’s side continuing to gain a string of plaudits, the former Ajax boss has his sights set on clinching a Champions League return in 2023. Breaking into the top-four and now winning each of their three Premier League matchups since returning from the World Cup break, the English heavyweights should find the mood in their camp at a real high. With just a sole domestic defeat to their name since way back on October 2nd,

The onus on replenishing the midfield ranks at Liverpool has never been more apparent, and the club might now turn to a former target to inject fresh life to save a fading season…

What’s the word?

Wolverhampton Wanderers completed the signing of Matheus Nunes in the summer in a club-record £42.2m deal that was considered a major coup for the club, following intense speculation that the 24-year-old could join Liverpool.

And now, according to The Telegraph, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp and Sporting Director Julian Ward could be poised to dive back in for the Portuguese maestro, who could be available for €50m (£44m), although any move is unlikely to happen until next summer’s window.

Nunes has not quite hit the ground running since his arrival at Wolves from Sporting Lisbon, with the club languishing near the bottom of the Premier League table and

Market: Fenerbahce win

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Looking to open the New Year with a statement on the road, Fenerbahce will make the trip to Antalyaspor on Tuesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, while Antalyaspor might have impressed many across Turkey last season, Nuri Sahin’s side have largely failed to keep up that same momentum this time around. Opening up the New Year at the heart of a relegation scrap and holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, the Scorpions will be more than aware that they face a huge challenge on Tuesday night. Last seen signing off 2022 with another sluggish display as they were hit with a 2-0 loss away at Basaksehir, the one-time Real Madrid star has seen his side lost five of their previous six matchups across all formats. With that nightmare spell stemming all the way back to

Tottenham Hotspur remain interested in a deal to bring Denzel Dumfries to the Premier League in the January transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to Rudy Galetti (via Sport Witness), with the Italian journalist revealing that Antonio Conte is ‘on the hunt’ for a new right-back this winter, with Spurs’ former target for the position, Dumfries, said to have ‘never left the radar’ of the 53-year-old manager – who is now believed to be keen on the Inter Milan defender once again in January.

The reporter goes on to state that the Serie A side would be ‘willing to negotiate’ a deal for the 26-year-old next month, as long as they were to receive an offer of €30m (£27m) plus add-ons.

Absolute steal

Considering just how impressive Dumfries has been for Inter in recent seasons, coupled with Emerson
