'We consider everything' - Man Utd's winter transfer window plans revealed by Erik ten Hag as he gives huge update on squad injuries ahead of return to Premier League action

The Red Devils have had their fair share of injuries and illnesses impacting several key players since the beginning of the campaign. Despite these setbacks, the team performed well in their FA Cup third-round match against Wigan Athletic, securing a 2-0 victory with goals from Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes.

Looking ahead to a vital Premier League clash against Tottenham on Sunday, Ten Hag expressed optimism ov about the potential return of some of the injured players, including Christian Eriksen, Luke Shaw, and Harry Maguire.

Speaking to reporters, Ten Hag said: "It’s hopeful that they can be back for the weekend, I’m talking about Christian Eriksen, potentially Luke Shaw. Harry [Maguire] maybe, Mason [Mount] I think he needs some days or a week more."

However, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, and Casemiro remain sidelined, much to Ten Hag's frustration.

"It is [frustrating]," he admitted. "But I don’t want to be frustrated, because I can do nothing for it, it will not help to support the team. We have to get the best performance and results with the players that are available and that’s what we’re trying to do."

United have been linked with several players, including Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise. Meanwhile, there have been also talks about potential loan exits for Facundo Pellistri and exiled winger Jadon Sancho. Although the manager is keeping his cards close to his chest, he did admit that the club remains open to "everything."

Talking about potential loan deals, Ten Hag said: "We consider everything, the best interest of the player and for us, our team. We will see how it progresses during the window."

If the trio of Maguire, Shaw and Eriksen return for the encounter against Spurs, it will be a huge boost for United. They were beaten by Nottingham Forest during their last Premier League outing and Ten Hag will be eager to guide his team back on the winning track against a resurgent Tottenham side on Sunday.
