Manchester United have been linked with a number of players in recent times. Julian Alvarez is certainly one of the most interesting among them. The Argentine youngster has been an absolute standout in recent times while playing for River Plate and many believe that it might be time for him to make the jump to European football.
If Alvarez was to do so, he would not have any lack of options. Other than Manchester United, he has also been linked with clubs like Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen and several others.
Thus, it is safe to say that he is one of the most highly-rated South American talents in the world right now and it is not hard to see why. According to stats from Transfermarkt, Alvarez scored 18 goals and provided 7 assists in 21 league appearances for River Plate in the 2021 season.
But as tweeted out by Fabrizio Romano, there are no conversations open as of now for Manchester United to sign Alvarez in January:

Major Alvarez to Manchester United transfer update
It appears that Manchester United’s main focus when it comes to transfers is on the summer and not on the upcoming January window.
It might be important though to keep an eye on Alvarez’s situation. There is no doubt that he is one of the most exciting talents in the world right now and if he does end up leaving River Plate in the near future, Manchester United must definitely try to bring him to Old Trafford.
The potential that Alvarez has is immense and on top of that, rumours have suggested that he could be available for a transfer fee around £17 million.
Of course, the race for his signature is expected to be very tough and it remains to be seen how things unfold.
