Balogun at the top of Manchester United's priorities

Manchester United are prioritising American striker Folarin Balogun, the 25-year-old AS Monaco player, during the upcoming winter transfer window, as one of the key targets that manager Maurício Pochettino aims to sign to strengthen the squad.

Folarin Balogun was close to a move to Everton on the last day of the summer transfer window, but the deal fell through, and his name is back in the spotlight as the winter transfer window approaches.

Manchester United are planning to make a strong move in the upcoming transfer market, with the management targeting at least two signings in January to address the shortcomings within the team and work on getting it back on the right track.

These moves come in the wake of changes at the club level, after the management decided to sack Michael Carrick from his position and appoint Maurício Pochettino as the new head coach to lead the sporting project in the upcoming phase.
