Manchester United linked with Carlos Bacca, Aleksander Dragovic, Andre Gomes and Alexandre Pato

According to the Mirror's transfer round-up Aleksander Dragovic is a January transfer target for Manchester United. He would be a sensible signings, if he has the quality quality. United need defensive reinforcements.

In the Telegraph's own summary, there's a story that United are in for AC Milan's Carlos Bacca ahead of AC Milan .Again, he can't be worse than Wayne Rooney. I imagine, then, that Louis van Gaal would play him at right-back.

The Manchester Evening News have a story that Andreas Pereira could leave on loan this month. It would be good for him - and all United players, if they got the chance - to get away from Van Gaal.

On ESPNFC, Andre Gomes of Valencia, the young midfielder, has been linked with a move to United. Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini are on their way out of the club in the next six months - probably - so they'll need to reinforce in the middle, yet again.

And in the Daily Mail, United have been linked, along with Chelsea, for Alexandre Pato, who is back in decent form and available for just £10 million. He could play on the wing, and up front, so would provide the chance to rest or replace any of the front four.
