Revealed: names of players Ralf Ragnick sent to Manchester United board ,as he want them at all cost for a perfect team .

 Manchester United didn't expect to head

 into the January transfer window with a 

new coach in place, yet it does appear 

as though that need for change has 

actually reshuffled the club in a positive

 manner.

Ed Woodward is now nowhere to be 

seen, merely waiting to collect his retirement

 gift from the Glazer family, no longer 

ruling over footballing matters with an 

iron fist, despite having zero talent or 

qualification to do so.

John Murtough has stepped into the 

limelight, working closely with Ralf Rangnick 

since the German arrived, and there now 

appears to be a cohesive approach to 

how Manchester United want to build 

their team. Hard to believe, I know.

With this in mind, Rangnick has already

 begun preparing for the January transfer

 window and beyond, and it is expected 

that the club will need to do some 

significant business with Anthony Martial

, Edinson Cavani and Paul Pogba not 

all guaranteed to end the winter period

 with the Premier League club.

Manchester United are looking to address

 their midfield problem first and foremost, 

but with other positions also in play, just 

who are the club's targets in 2022?

Amadou Haidara: Central midfielder

, RB Leipzig

Initially linked with a move to Old Trafford

 when Rangnick was appointed, 

Haidara would represent an instant 

upgrade on United's current options, at 

least in terms to fitting into the German 

coach's style.

Having played a central role in Red Bull 

Salzburg's pursuit of the Mali midfielder

 in 2016, Rangnick knows the midfielder 

well and he could operate as a positive 

foil for Fred, particularly in matches where

 United need to press high up the pitch

 for longer, with the Champions League

 in mind.

There are, though, concerns about 

Haidara’s performances with RB Leipzig 

this term, as well as the fact he would 

immediately be off to the AFCON with Mali.

Christopher Nkunku: Attacking 

midfielder, RB Leipzig

Whilst somewhat of a wildcard on this list

, Christopher Nkunku is a player who is 

enjoying the greatest moment of his 

career at RB Leipzig.

Having fashioned a role for himself just

 behind the strikers in Leipzig's team, the

 Frenchman has added goals to his 

game and is impossible to deal with 

when making surging runs from deep.

Whilst a little similar to Bruno Fernandes 

in that regard, Nkunku's ability to press 

is an added benefit and again his familiarity

 with the Rangnick system would only 

serve to ease his adaptation.

However, he would perhaps only be 

an option if Pogba and Martial were to 

leave in January, given the fact he essentially

 covers what both offer to a certain extent.

Declan Rice: Defensive midfielder

, West Ham United

Declan Rice has been Manchester United's

 primary midfield target for a year already, 

although it seems at this point that there 

will be no way for them to sign him without

 competition from Manchester City 

and Chelsea.

David Moyes spoke publicly about how 

the English midfielder's value has risen 

even further after his exploits at Euro 

2020 and in the Europa League with 

West Ham United.

He is the perfect holding midfielder 

and is excellent at cutting out danger 

and being all-action in both halves of 

the pitch, although it's not clear if a naturally

 holding presence in midfield fits into

 Rangnick's tactical blueprint.

Tariq Lamptey: Right-back, Brighton

One of the early conclusions of 

Rangnick's first weeks in charge at Old 

Trafford has been that he doesn't rate

 Aaron Wan-Bissaka as highly as Ole 

Gunnar Solskjaer did.

He has arrived and given immediate 

prominence to Diogo Dalot, who has 

impressed to a degree, but there may 

be a need for a more permanent solution 

at the position.

United persisted for years with Ashley 

Young and Antonio Valencia at full-back

, despite the fact they were both hopeless

 in the role, yet they probably went too 

far the other way in targeting 

Wan-Bissaka, who is primarily focused 

on defending, to the detriment of 

his attacking contributions.

Tariq Lamptey has impressed a lot whilst

 at Brighton, almost causing people to 

ask why on earth Chelsea let him go. 

He is a balanced full-back who excels

 on either side of the ball and would 

also bring an added level of energy to 

a pressing team, as witnessed under 

Graham Potter at the Amex Stadium.
