Amid a disastrous slump in form that saw them eliminated from the Champions League at the hands of Wolfsburg and go winless in eight across all competitions, Manchester United now find themselves at fifth place in the Premier League table.
Louis van Gaal’s side managed to stop the rot with a 2-1 win over Swansea City at Old Trafford on Saturday, but they’re still nine points away from the Premier League’s summit and rapidly slipping out of this season’s title race.
It’s quite clear where the biggest problems lie – United have recorded six scoreless draws and found the net just twelve times in their last 15 games.
Fortunately for the Red Devils, however, we’re now firmly into the January transfer window, giving LVG the much-needed chance to bolster his squad for the second half of the season and revive the club’s faltering title chances.
With that in mind and plenty of cash to spend, here are FIVE attacking signings laden with netting prowess who would fire United back into this season’s title race.
