Utd 'could enter loan market' because main targets may not be available in Jan

Manchester United will consider entering the loan market this month because their main targets may not be available until the summer, according to Telegraph. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been dealing with a lengthy injury list and would like to freshen his squad, although moves for Jadon Sancho or Christian Eriksen will need to wait until the end of the season.

It means United will look at short-term deals in January for the first time since Henrik Larsson’s three-month move from Helsingborg in 2007. 

Carlos Tévez and Radamel Falcao have since had long-term loans at Old Trafford but United usually prefer purchases.

Solskjaer has been short in midfield  because of injuries to Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay and wants two players for the central positions. At the back Eric Bailly and Tim Fosu-Mensah are in the squad for the Under-23s against Newcastle on Friday night which will soon bolster his defensive options following their injuries.
