Manchester United transfer news LIVE Man Utd deny reports on Erik ten Hag's future as January striker eyed

Manchester United can now turn their attentions to Premier League action and a trip to Fulham on Saturday as Erik ten Hag looks to arrest his side's dismal form.

Consecutive 3-0 defeats at Old Trafford, the latest of which came to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, signalled United's worst start to a season for 61 years. Not since 1930 have they lost five of their opening 10 home games.

A number of reports on Wednesday surfaced regarding the issues at United and the Manchester Evening News understands there is growing unrest over Ten Hag's management. Other reports suggested the Dutchman's job was at risk but the club are said to have denied those claims.

In transfer news, United are reportedly eyeing a January move for a striker to support Rasmus Hojlund. There is a sense inside the club that the 20-year-old would benefit from working alongside a more experienced option.

Jadon Sancho's name is also a regular feature, with the winger looking for a way out of the club after being exiled from the first-team by Ten Hag in September.
