With both Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay out injured, Manchester United are ramping up their interest in signing a central midfielder and have reportedly targeted Norwich's Todd Cantwell. United headed into the January transfer window with the intention of doing some business to strengthen their squad in the hope of clinching a Champions League spot.

Erling Haaland was thought to be their No 1 target but a number of financial issues in discussions led to them pulling out before Borussia Dortmund swooped in.

An attacking player could still be on their radar, with Jadon Sancho heavily linked with a move away from Dortmund.

But multiple reports have suggested at least one midfielder is now the priority for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the January window.

That is largely due to the injury setbacks for both McTominay and Pogba.
