Manchester United Champions League winner Wes Brown has urged manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be busy in January.
Brown has told Solskjaer to reassess his options, and perhaps look to the second tier for a fresh twist in his squad.
Brown, speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes at its launch of the 5-A-Side Bet on Man United v Man City, said: “I hope Ole brings someone in, but I don't know who! The more the merrier, for me.
“I just always think in January it's more difficult than you think. There could be some players who are in the last year of their contract who you might be able to get, but naturally the best players are all signed up so it doesn't really happen, unless you stumble across a player who has had a fall out with his manager.
“It'd be good to bring in a couple of younger kids from the Championship - I'd love to see those kind of players coming in to United and training with the first team; seeing if they can get a place in the team.
“I thought at one point in the summer that Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish and James Maddison were all coming to United. I was hoping at least one of Sancho or Grealish would join.
“I couldn't tell you what goes on in negotiations but for whatever reason neither happened in the end. That means you've just got to deal with the players you have got.
“They're two young lads who have got so much ability and have done really well for their individual teams; they're exactly the sort of players a club like Man United should be looking to add to their squad."
