Manchester United are thought to be relying on Angel di Maria to help secure the signatures of Argentine duo Enzo Perez and Nicolas Otamendi.
Dominant midfielder Enzo Perez plays for Benfica, and is a player Louis van Gaal greatly admires. While Otamendi plays in La Liga with Valencia, and looks to be exactly the kind of player United need to solve their defensive crisis at the moment.
3) January looking bleak

The Manchester United boss was also very negative about the possibility of bringing players into the club in January however, claiming that, “in January it’s very difficult to buy players who are good enough for the quality of Manchester United.”
This is more than likely a ploy to drive down prices and ward off competition, but the Dutchman seems as though he is trying to keep the fans’ hopes down.
2) Experienced reinforcements

Louis van Gaal may have been offered the solution to some of his defensive problems, with Shaktar Donetsk revealing that Croatian international Darijo Srna is available in January.
The 32-year-old would add some much needed experience to the United back line, and despite his age is still competing at a high level.
1) Bad news as Gunners reveal firepower

Manchester United got some fantastic news earlier in the week, with reports coming in that Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, and Alexis Sanchez were all doubts for Saturday evening’s match.
It seems as though the reports were either inaccurate or the trio have made a miraculous recovery, as all three were pictured training on Friday ahead of the crunch Premier League match at the Emirates.
This on top of the news that Olivier Giroud is also available means Arsenal will be practically at full strength in attack.
