January Transfer Window: 5 Manchester United Rumours from This Week

With the January transfer window already halfway over, Sir Alex Ferguson has only added veteran centre midfielder Paul Scholes to his injury-crippled squad.

Will he be adding anyone else to his squad before the window slams shut? Let's take a look at some of the rumours surrounding Old Trafford this week.

Michael Vorm

Swansea director John Van Zwenden revealed this week that Manchester United are among the clubs interested in goalkeeper Michael Vorm.

Vorm has been a stand out player in EPL this season, shocking most critics with his impressive performances between the Swansea sticks.

The question is, do United really need to bring in another goalkeeper?

Javi Manquillo

The Sun has reported that Man United have been tracking Atletico Madrid's 17-year-old right-back Javi Manquillo.

The youngster has played three times for Spain Under-17s and has been touted as a hot prospect for the future.

Granit Xhaka

The Metro reported this week that Man United are interested in FC Basel midfielder Granit Xhaka.

The player is allegedly available for around £7 million, however United face competition from Lazio and Hamburg, who would also guarantee the player first team football—something which Man United may not be able to do.

Wilfried Zaha

Man United and Liverpool are reportedly in a race to sign Crystal Palace's wonderkid Wilfried Zaha.

Despite the EPL vultures circling, the Crystal Palace hierarchy is adamant that the forward will not be leaving Selhurst Park in the near future.

His price tag is supposedly around the £10 million mark.

Keisuke Honda

According to givemefootball.com, Man United could be ready to join the race for Japanese sensation Keisuke Honda.

As well as his awesome name, you may remember Honda for his impressive free kick against Denmark in the 2010 World Cup.

The article mentions that United could offer Dimitar Berbatov as part-payment for the player to make the offer more attractive to CSKA Moscow.
