With the January transfer window approaching, PSG faces mounting pressure from fans as transfer rumors swirl around the club. The latest buzz? Reported interest in a Manchester United player.

Luis Enrique takes a strong stand with PSG players
As quoted by Canal Supporters, Luis Enrique was quick to acknowledge Monaco’s recent improvements, particularly in their attack and defense. “This year, they’ve become harder to break down,” he said. “It’s a match that will prepare us for what comes after the Christmas break.”
Monaco, traditionally one of PSG’s toughest rivals, has shown steady progress, and Enrique believes this encounter will be a significant challenge.
“It’s important for players to know they could be replaced if they relax too much,” he said.
The match is expected to test PSG’s resilience and ability to maintain their top form throughout the season.
“Tomorrow, we have a very tough match against Monaco, one of our direct competitors in the league. For each match, I select the 20 players I think are best prepared,” he announced.
On the injury front, Enrique discussed the possible return of Milan Skriniar and Randal Kolo Muani to the squad, hinting that both could feature in the upcoming game.
However, he refrained from confirming their participation, stating that he selects players based on their readiness for each match.
In terms of the title race, Enrique remained cautious but optimistic. “No, the league is not decided yet. It’s only a mathematical matter at the end of the season,” he noted, emphasizing that with many games left to play, the lead can always be cut down.
Despite the current seven-point advantage over their competitors, PSG knows that every match counts in the long run.
With the match against Monaco approaching, Enrique’s focus remains on preparing his squad, ensuring they are both physically and mentally ready for the challenge.
How has PSG performed in Ligue 1 this season?
The PSG squad remains unbeaten in Ligue 1 with an impressive run of eight matches. One of the standout victories came against Angers, where the Parisians secured a commanding 4-2 win.
However, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing for the Rouge & Bleu. Despite their efforts to maintain strong momentum this season, their match against Auxerre served as a stark reminder that PSG still struggles to dominate teams they are expected to outperform.
Fans have been quick to point out the team’s inconsistency, both in their performance and player contributions.
This has sparked growing concerns about whether Luis Enrique is the right man to stay at the helm.
Despite these rumors, PSG’s management and the Spanish coach appear more united than ever. Luis Enrique remains committed to leading the Parisians back to Ligue 1 glory, silencing doubts and proving that this team can still shine under his guidance.
