Erik ten Hag has joked that he would love to sign both Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe if he had the money to do so at Manchester United. The Dutchman is looking to strengthen his squad again in the January transfer window, but will most likely be limited to loan additions after a bumper summer of spending.
United are advancing with a potential loan move for Burnley striker Wout Weghorst as they look to add a new striker to their side this month, though they will look to spend big on a new forward in the summer window.
Victor Osimhen is one elite striker of interest to United at the end of the season, though many fans might be dreaming of a move for Paris Saint-Germain star Mbappe instead.

The French forward was one name put to the United manager this week when he stopped to sign autographs for fans, and he gave a brilliant response to the transfer questions.
"Erik, do you think you are going to sign Jude Bellingham?," asked one supporter, to which Ten Hag admitted, "I want to!"
Ten Hag was then asked if he wanted to sign Mbappe as well, to which the United manager laughed and said, "Have you got some pennies for me?”
The United fans responded by praising Ten Hag for his work at United and assuring him that they would get him the funds he needed to complete the two mega-signings.
