The dust is settling on a rather lacklustre January transfer window, in which, Manchester United - like many other Premier League clubs - failed to do much in terms of business. It's been an eventful month at Old Trafford for differing reasons, however.

Ruben Amorim was given his walking papers at the turn of January, with Michael Carrick stepping in as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. And while many fans were interested to see if the 44-year-old would dip into the winter window for reinforcements, Carrick instead committed his full attention to providing results on the pitch and turning the tide for the Red Devils.

Carrick oversaw an emphatic 2-0 win over Manchester City in his first match in charge, before putting Arsenal to the sword 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium the following week. A hard-fought 3-2 win over Fulham then ensued on Sunday afternoon, as Carrick went three-for-three in terms of matches won.

While no first-team deals were completed on Monday evening, a number of moves for youth prospects took place - while reports of unrest from one first-team player emerged as a result of Jason Wilcox reportedly blocking a move away from Manchester United.

Here, Mirror Football breaks down some of the biggest lines from the transfer front for Manchester United...

Sam Mather joined Kayserispor in a permanent move on January 17, having been at Manchester United since the age of seven. After enjoying loan spells with Rochdale and Tranmere Rovers, the 21-year-old made the move to the Turkish Super Lig midway through the window on a free.

However, a clause in his contract stipulates that United will see a 20 per cent portion of any future sale regarding the winger. Joe Hugill , meanwhile parted ways with the Red Devils for an undisclosed fee, joining Scottish Premiership challengers, Kilmarnock.

The 22-year-old striker made his way to Old Trafford from 2020, but failed to make the cut at first-team level - instead enjoying loan stints with Burton Albion, Wigan Athletic, Carlisle United and Barnet. Defender Rhys Bennett also joined Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee, having spent 2024/25 with the club.

Harry Amass joined Norwich City for the rest of the season, before picking up a 'serious' injury in training. The 18-year-old left-back has previously enjoyed a loan spell with Sheffield Wednesday.

Defensive midfielder, Toby Collyer, 22, also swapped West Bromwich Albion for Hull City for the rest of the season, while Ethan Wheatley made his way to Bradford City on loan for the remainder of 2025/26. The 20-year-old striker has previously enjoyed a loan with Northampton Town.

A minute ahead of Monday's 7pm deadline, meanwhile, James Scanlon joined Swindon Town on loan for the remainder of the season. The 19-year-old versatile attacking-midfielder will see his first taste of competitive senior football with the Robins.

Gabriele Biancheri also agreed his first loan move away from United. The 19-year-old forward has joined Rotherham until the summer.

Tyrell Malacia was left fuming with Manchester United on Monday afternoon, as Wilcox reportedly blocked a deadline day move to Turkey as the full-back was set to board a flight. The 26-year-old has been overlooked with the Red Devils this season, with just one Premier League appearance to his name for 2025/26.

Despite reports, Mirror Football understands that there was no deal or travel agreed between the player and the club in recent weeks. The Dutch defender could also find himself a part of Michael Carrick's plans for the rest of the season, given United's stance on deploying him may have changed as a result of Patrick Dorgu's recent injury.

Dorgu picked up an issue during United's 3-2 win over Arsenal last month, with reports suggesting he could be out of action for up to 10 weeks.
