Next year's summer transfer window is more important than the squad in January.

It was never in United's plan to spend a lot of money in January.

The club are looking for a new forward in the new year and continue to look at all options.

The Dutch forward, who arrived in England on Wednesday to complete his move to Anfield, was the subject of interest from United, but they seem to have lost out to the Reds.

Cody Gakpo
Dutch football expert Elko Born believes despite a general expectation that Cody Gakpo would sign for Manchester United, Liverpool's directness was a key factor in getting the winger's deal done.

Any potential arrival in that position is likely to depend on Wan-Bissaka's situation.

Wan-Bissaka was in the starting lineup for the game against Forest.

Ten Hag said that the right-back did well. There were a lot of injuries and illnesses in the first half of the season.

The break made him feel better. The training camp was in Spain. You can see that he is getting better. The man is doing a good job.

If anyone is brought in over the January transfer window, a loan move is more likely.

If a long-term target became available and spending became part of next summer's budget, a permanent deal can be ruled out.

There is a chance that United won't make any signings in the new year.

After their win over Forest, Christian said United have moved on.

Following his refusal to come on as a substitute against Spurs and his TalkTV interview, the news was dominated by the demise at Old United. His exit was agreed during the World Cup break and United have moved on, showing plenty of life in attack as they put Forest to the sword.

The mood in the camp is good despite the fact that Eriksen was proud to play withRonaldo.

"First of all, we are sad that he isn't part of it, his legacy and his name at any club is special, for me to be fortunate to play with him in my career was very nice."

The football is still going on. People will forget what it was like before the next game, and our focus is really like he is not here.

The atmosphere is good and we have a lot of people coming back from the World Cup.

The environment is pleasant. Before we left for the World Cup, we had a few good games and good wins and it made it easier to come back and start like this.
