Manchester United will be looking to bring in new bodies in the January transfer window as the Red Devils are currently short of options due to injuries.
In the upcoming January transfer window, there’s a strong chance that Kalvin Phillips will be leaving Manchester City.
However, contrary to expectations, a move to Manchester United would be a surprising twist. According to insights from Football Insider , Phillips is more likely to end up with other Premier League clubs like West Ham, Tottenham, or Newcastle. The plan seems to be a loan deal in January with the possibility of a permanent move in the summer.
Sources emphasize that seeing the 28-year-old midfielder transfer to Old Trafford would indeed be a big surprise. Phillips joined Manchester City from Leeds in the summer of 2022 but has struggled for playing time, making only eight appearances totaling 215 minutes this season.
The limited game time is a concern for Phillips, especially with EURO 2024 on the horizon in Germany next summer. To secure a spot in Gareth Southgate’s squad, he needs regular playing opportunities. While Manchester United is in need of midfield reinforcements, it seems Phillips won’t be making the switch to the red side of Manchester, according to the latest reports.
