Meanwhile, Manchester United youngster Hannibal Mejbri is the latest to be loaned out to Spanish giants Sevilla.
Follow All of the latest updates below…
Andre Onana could be available for Man Utd in January.
That’s because he is delaying his exit to AFCON for as long as possible.
The tournament kicks off on January 15 and the stars will leave before preparations for the new year.
But Onana could hold out on Cameroon until after January 8, allowing him to play in United’s FA Cup clash with Wigan.
Erik ten Hag believes Man Utd are moving in the right direction after securing a hard-earned point against Liverpool and a fantastic comeback win over Aston Villa.
The coach said: “There aren’t many groups that can cope with as many setbacks as we can.
“We are satisfied with the number of points, but we have to be satisfied. When we have all the players back, the team will be strong.
“Against Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa, the three most sensible groups in the league, we played against others.
“When the stronger players come back, we will be able to win with the right mentality. “
Erik ten Hag believes Rasmus Hojlund now has the confidence to start scoring more goals after scoring his first Premier League goal and winning against Aston Villa.
“I accept it as true, I knew he was capable of it, his goals in the Champions League showed he was capable of it, and what he did as a youngster in Austria and Italy.
“This goal will give him belief he’s going to score more goals from this point on.”
Erik Ten Hag insists he and his players are aiming to win against Nottingham Forest and not take over from Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Ten Hag said in his press conference: “I’m focused on the game so far. In this moment I don’t want to have distractions. In the coming days, weeks, there will be time for us [new owners], then I’ll know more.
“I think it’s a smart thing to do, it’s very positive. We’re looking to race together. Ineos want to work with me on this design and I want to work with them.
“We want to win, no matter who the leader is. We’re named here in this field, we want a winning culture, no matter who’s at the helm, no matter who’s the owner.
“But, of course, owners can inspire you.”
Erik ten Hag has yet to speak to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team since Ineos’ 25% investment in the club was shown on Christmas Eve.
Ten Hag said: “The programme is so condensed that I haven’t had time to talk to them until now, but that will come. I’m ahead of that. “
“They want to work with me, I want to work with them, we’re going to have conversations, meetings. We’ll see. “
Erik ten Hag has assured that many of his injured players will be out for a few more weeks.
The coach said: “It will be a team like the one we had against Villa.
“Mid-January we expect many players back. Mason, Casemiro, Martinez, Malacia, so we expect Harry Maguire, of course.
“We expect many to return in January. “
United prodigy Joe Hugill is set to sign a new contract at Man Utd, according to reports.
The 20-year-old striker, who is still waiting for his first senior appearance, could be loaned out in January.
Erik ten Hag is a fan of Hugill and will assess his position at the club after his proposed loan move.
Gary Neville has rubbed salt on Arsenal fans’ injuries with a cheeky message after his name hopes were shaken at West Ham.
The Manchester United legend won over his followers by posting a photo of himself next to a ball on the line and then tweeting that he is “excellent at goal-line technology. “
This comes after another VAR decision of the ball coming in or out against Arsenal last night.
Man Utd are reportedly in a position to make an offer for French and Monaco foreign midfielder Youssouf Fofana.
According to Caught Offside, the Red Devils are keeping an eye on Fofana with a view to launching a £26m bid.
Casemiro is likely to be sold in January to make way for him and Sofyan Amrabat has failed to make much of an impression.
Former United star Paul Parker believes Ramsus Hojlund’s team-mates are to blame for his lack of Premier League football this season.
He told Tipsbladet: “I think he’s frustrated with his teammates because they don’t give him the most productive situations to score goals.
“The smart thing about Hojlund is that she doesn’t show it on the pitch and never behaves like a diva, which is what Ronaldo noticed in the past.
“In fact, I think you can gain advantages by being more selfish. He tells Rashford and Garnacho to give him the ball in every single chance they have. “
Ipswich are on the verge of completing a sensational goal for Manchester United winger Amad Diallo.
Diallo, 21, impressed while on loan at Sunderland in the Championship last year.
Many expected him to play a role in the United squad this year, however, he suffered a serious knee injury in pre-season which recently forced him to return to training.
That means he wants some minutes in his legs and top-flight side Ipswich would be willing to offer him the chance to return to first-team football on loan.
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna took the championship via the typhoon but may now be in contention for his top spot in the Premier League.
The former Manchester United manager was promoted to League One’s Tractor Boys last season and they are now in the league.
And, for the Telegraph, McKenna is admired at Crystal Palace and tension rises over Roy Hodgson.
Birmingham are making plans for a “bold” move for Steve Cooper if Wayne Rooney’s dismal form as manager continues.
Our source said: “The clock is ticking for Wayne Rooney at Birmingham.
“If the effects continue as they are, it would possibly be necessary to make a substitution to get the club back in the right direction.
“The general environment around the club is not smart at the moment. Wayne’s comments after the game against Stoke possibly put off many enthusiasts and indicated that he may have lost players.
United would reportedly have to shop around in the lending market this winter due to FFP regulations.
The club spent around £180m in the summer on Andre Onana, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and Altay Bayindir with Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon joining on loan.
Unless finances are raised through player promotion, United can limit themselves to reasonable offers, claims Sky Sports.
André Onana needs to delay his departure to AFCON as long as possible.
Cameroon’s first in-form match will take place on January 15.
They are expected to play a friendly match against Zambia and train as a team before the start of the tournament.
But Onana needs to stay at United as long as possible to play in the FA Cup match against Wigan on January 8.
Mario Melchiot believes Jadon Sancho is ruining his career and will leave Man Utd in January.
The former Prem defender said: “He is killing his own career, he is not killing the team. “
