Manchester United increase interest in AS Roma's Wesley ahead of January
Summary

Manchester United are intensifying their pursuit of AS Roma's Wesley as the January transfer window approaches. United's lackluster start to the Premier League season, managing only one win in seven matches, has prompted them to seek reinforcements, particularly in defense. Wesley, a versatile full-back who has impressed since joining Roma in 2025, is seen as a potential solution. Roma has placed a £50 million price tag on the 23-year-old, which could complicate negotiations amid interest from Arsenal and Newcastle as well. United aim to bolster their squad before the winter window opens.
