Erik ten Hag has welcomed in nine players during his reign as Manchester United manager, with five of them permanent arrivals.
The other four came in on loan deals with one already back at his parent club - Martin Dubravka may have been lining up against the Reds at Wembley if not for his appearances for the club in earlier League Cup rounds.
The United boss has a decision to make on three other loanees who will want to make their switches to Old Trafford permanent too. After a spend of £225m in the summer, the club was forced to lean into the loan market in January.
