Man Utd can sign four free agents today who would be better than Anwar El Ghazi

Man Utd transfer news: is a free agent (Image: GETTY) Manchester United have until 2pm today if they are going to sign any free agents. Anwar El Ghazi has been linked with a move to Old Trafford but there are other options who would be better than the former Aston Villa star. Erik ten Hag is set to have a limited number of attacking resources in the coming weeks. Jadon Sancho is in the middle of a war of words with his manager and looks set to leave the club in January. The pair have been unable to settle their differences in crunch talks this week. Antony, meanwhile, has been given an indefinite leave of absence following a number of allegations of abuse against women. El Ghazi had his contract cancelled by PSV Eindhoven last week and the Mail claims he has been considered as a shock option by Ten Hag. However, there are four other free agents who would be better candidates for United to sign before they have to submit their Premier League squads early this afternoon. Man Utd transfer news: Andre Ayew had a spell at Nottingham Forest last season (Image: GETTY) The former Chelsea hero hasn’t found a new club since leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season. He had a miserable spell at the Bernabeu which was dogged by injury problems. Crystal Palace and Rangers have both been linked with a move for the Belgian. However, he would provide a huge amount of Premier League experience if United considered a late swoop. Jesse Lingard A familiar face to United fans, Lingard is currently without a club. He only left the Red Devils last summer to join Nottingham Forest. That move was not successful and he has become a free agent again. He has been training with West Ham and the Hammers could re-sign him but a move back to Old Trafford may be more tempting.
