Monaco has signed a loan deal with Manchester United for the French striker, Valère Germain, who will join the club on January 1st. The deal is expected to be finalized soon and Germain will be available for selection in the upcoming matches.

Germain, who was previously at Ligue 1 side AS Monaco, has been in great form this season, scoring 22 goals in all competitions. He is expected to provide a much-needed boost to Manchester United's attack, which has struggled to score goals recently.

The move comes as Manchester United faces a significant offensive crisis, with their goal-scoring record having dropped to one of the worst in the Premier League. With the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard struggling to find the net, the Red Devils have been relying heavily on Bruno Fernandes' creativity to create chances.

Germain's signing could provide a much-needed injection of firepower into the team, allowing Manchester United to challenge for top honors once again. The forward is known for his ability to score crucial goals from set-pieces, something that could prove valuable against some of the Premier League's best defenses.

Overall, the move looks like a smart acquisition for both teams, with Manchester United hoping to secure a winnable match against Monaco, while Monaco can benefit from the experience of a player of Germain's calibre.
