Despite being linked with several top transfer targets, Manchester United interim manager Jose Mourinho is expected to sign his first January transfer signing in the coming weeks, according to huge reports from France.
Since his arrival, Ralf Rangnick has made extensive use of the McFred pivot, with the duo putting in their best effort. However, a cover up is arguably necessary, and it appears that one has been found.
Ralf Rangnick has only been in charge of Manchester United for three weeks, but the German has already set his plans in motion for a brief stay.
Boubacar Kamara is expected to be the interim manager's first signing. The club's senior figures have already discussed targets for the upcoming January transfer window with the interim manager.
Manchester United are reportedly close to signing the Marseille defender, who can also play as a holding midfielder, in January.
According to El Nacional, Manchester United is leading the race to sign the highly-rated 22-year-old, making him one of Rangnick's top targets.
The transfer is nearing completion, according to the report, and Rangnick is 'convinced' that Kamara will be a good fit.
Real Madrid and Barcelona were reportedly interested in the youngster before abandoning their pursuit, according to The Sun.
And it appears that Rangnick's six-month plan is finally coming together.
Despite signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, and Raphael Varane in a largely successful transfer window, the club's failure to strengthen in midfield signaled the start of their title challenge's end.
As a result, it's no surprise that United's management is concentrating on adding new players to the squad in that area.
Rangnick is thought to have requested two holding midfielders, or "sixes" as they are known among German coaches.
Scott McTominay and Fred started in Rangnick's first two Premier League games as manager, but their performances did not impress him.
Clearly, the 63-year-old believes his current midfielders are incapable of carrying out his strategy.
When Amadou Haidara was brought to the club, Rangnick was the sporting director of both Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig.
Rangnick and his recruitment team had no choice but to look elsewhere due to his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations and Leipzig's refusal to part ways.
Kamara has a lot of experience for a player his age, having made 141 appearances for Marseille and being a France Under-21 international.
He was successful in capturing a, unlike his predecessors' recruitment efforts in this area.
