Manchester United had hoped to challenge for trophies this season. They had finished second in the Premier League last season and as runners up in the Europa League. And after adding superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane to their squad, hopes were high surrounding Old Trafford. A few months on, and the picture is pretty different though.
The Red Devils are already out of the League Cup and can be considered out of the Premier League title race as well unless something very unexpected happens over the coming weeks and months. Their best hope seems to be the FA Cup right now although they are still in the Champions League as well.
Thus, one would expect Manchester United to make some big signings in the future, when they bring in a long-term manager, with Ralf Rangnick only being the interim manager till the end of the season.
But it looks like the club are set to miss out on quite a few stars that they have been linked with in recent times.
Manchester United: 3 stars they could miss out on
Here are three stars that Manchester United could miss out on as it looks like they could be headed elsewhere in the future:
Dusan Vlahovic
Vlahovic has emerged as an absolute superstar in recent times. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 20 goals and provided 4 assists in 24 appearances for Fiorentina this season.
Those are incredible numbers, especially for a player who is just 21 years of age and not playing for a side who are dominating their league.
Manchester United have been linked with Vlahovic a few times in the past but now, it looks like he might be headed elsewhere. And with the number of rumours surrounding him, it might happen this month, with Arsenal appearing to be very interested in his signature.
