The Red Devils have been on a good run of late, but much improvement is still needed in the squad and here are the ins and outs we expect at Old Trafford in the New Year.
Out
Anderson
United certainly want to get this midfield flop off their wage bill, but the issue is that no club wants to sign a Brazilian who cost the best part of £20m just seven years ago.

Adnan Januzaj
Times have changed for this youngster, who last term was the next big thing after scoring a match-winning brace on his debut and now Januzaj is struggling to establish himself under van Gaal and is likely to be sent out on-loan.

Anders Lindegaard
The impressive form of David de Gea means this Dane no longer gets a sniff at first team action and in all honesty is probably not good enough to even be called upon as a backup for a team with Champions League ambitions.

In
Kevin Strootman
Although van Gaal has several options in central midfield, the likes of Anderson and Darren Fletcher are below par and having worked with this AS Roma star with the Netherlands national team the deal looks even more likely.

Victor Valdes
If Lindegaard is to leave than a replacement would be needed and this former FC Barcelona goalkeeper has been training with Man United as he looks to recover his fitness and may well make his stay permanent.

Ron Vlaar
Van Gaal has played down the need for new defenders, but in truth something has to change and although Aston Villa captain Vlaar may not be the most glamourous of signings, he would be cost effective and bring international experience to the back line.
