Three players Manchester United should send on loan in January 2024

Manchester United have a bloated squad, to say the least right now, with several youngsters in desperate need of more game time.

With Erik ten Hag under such tremendous amounts of scrutiny, he hasn’t been in the position to give the likes of Dan Gore or Hannibal Mejbri extended game-time.

This can’t continue for the entirety of the season, as it would be an absolute waste and likely also to stunt their growth as a footballer.

So with the new year and January transfer window just around the corner now, what better a time to discuss three players Manchester United should consider loaning out in the transfer window.

Hannibal Mejbri

A surprising name to see on this list if you were reading it three months ago. Hannibal Mejbri exploded into life for the first team under Erik ten Hag this season with a thunderous goal against Brighton.

After this, the Tunisian enjoyed a relatively strong run in the starting line-up before disappearing altogether over the past month or so.

Therefore it makes little sense to keep him on the bench where he doesn’t even really make a cameo from anymore. A loan would be a smart option for United to ensure his development continues.

Such a talented player needs playing time and if he isn’t going to get it for the remainder of this season here, then let him head off on-loan.

Dan Gore

Dan Gore is another youngster who has been largely a part of the first team this season often sitting on the bench and a constant in training.

Despite this, he has just one appearance to his name this campaign and that was an impressive cameo against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.

At 19 years old, Gore can’t spend an entire season not playing football and therefore we would love to see him sent on loan to a Championship side to get some real game experience.

Amad Diallo

Number three on the list Amad Diallo is a player who hasn’t featured at all this season as he has been absent through injury.

He is now nearing a return, Amad probably however comes back into the fold as the third choice on the right wing for United.

Amad would be easily interchangeable with Facundo Pellistri and really it’ll come down to whichever of the two Ten Hag envisions getting more game-time for the rest of this season.
