Manchester United have reportedly set aside €120m for two signings at the request of manager Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils have had a busy summer bringing in Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Senne Lammens, but few at Old Trafford think it’s enough.
According to Fichajes, Man Utd are currently preparing transfers for Oihan Sancet and Ousmane Diomande for January.
The report states that Amorim is keen to raid his former club Sporting Lisbon for Diomandé, although the Ivory Coast international defender is also wanted by Liverpool and Arsenal.
Sancet, meanwhile, has shone for Athletic Bilbao and would be another key target for United.
What could Oihan Sancet bring to Manchester United?
Fichajes reports that Sancet is seen as someone who can bring more creativity and goals to the midfield for United.
Right now, there’s a lot of pressure on Bruno Fernandes to do this for MUFC, so it might make sense to bring in someone to ease that burden for the Portugal international.

Diomande would be another intriguing signing, but it surely won’t be easy for them to beat Liverpool or Arsenal to his signature.
The Arsenal links are admittedly a bit surprising when the Gunners already have William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Cristhian Mosquera as their main centre-backs, meaning there really isn’t much room for more competition.
Other versatile players like Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber, Ben White and Piero Hincapie can also play there, so AFC will surely have other priorities.
Liverpool, however, would surely benefit from strengthening at the back as Ibrahima Konate nears the end of his contract, while Virgil van Dijk isn’t getting any younger.
LFC would surely be more tempting than United right now after their success under Arne Slot, and United still looking like a work in progress under Amorim.
