Man Utd's 3 likely January transfers revealed after Solskjaer's arrival

Jose Mourinho was left frustrated with Manchester United's transfer business last summer after missing out on some of his top targets.

The Special One was sacked on Tuesday with the Red Devils trailing Premier League leaders Liverpool by a massive 19 points.

Mourinho admitted his United squad was not good enough to challenge champions Manchester City and Liverpool for top honours following their 3-1 reverse at Anfield.

The defeat and subsequent outburst proved to be the final straw for United chiefs, who gave the Portuguese manager his marching orders less than 48 hours after the game.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been tasked with holding the fort until the Red Devils name a permanent successor next year.

However, Mourinho's departure and uncertainty over his long-term successor will not stop United bringing in reinforcements in January, according to the bookies.

Paddy Power have slashed Harry Maguire's odds of making a winter switch to Old Trafford to 9/4 in from 6/1.

Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld is the second favourite to be through the door at 7/2, followed by West Ham's Marko Arnautovic (11/2).
