Erik ten Hag insists he is happy with his current squad and is confident Manchester United will be 'much stronger' once they have welcomed back a raft of injured players.

United have suffered from a number of high-profile injuries so far this season and have struggled to find consistency without a regular starting line-up.

Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans were the ninth different centre-back pairing the club have used already this season at Anfield and they will now be without Victor Lindelof for a number of weeks following surgery on an unspecified injury.

Ten Hag was quizzed on the club's January transfer plans on Friday but insisted his side would already be strengthened by returning players next month.

"As we get our players back, we have a good squad, a lot of the way it went in the first season, the reasons behind because many players were not available. "I am sure when all players are on board it looks different, Casemiro, Martinez, Mount, we will be much stronger after the window." United head into the match with West Ham on the back of a rare midweek off and Ten Hag hopes that the extra rest will make a difference to his side this weekend.
