Here are your Manchester United morning headlines.
Jadon Sancho hint
Manchester United were back at Carrington on Monday as they prepare for Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Nottingham Forest.
The Reds will be desperate to bounce back quickly from Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Arsenal, a result that left level on points with Newcastle United and six above Tottenham Hotspur in fifth. Erik Ten Hag's side looked set to leave the Emirates with a point before Eddie Nketiah's gut-wrenching 90th-minute winner.

But with this season's fixture list as congested as ever, and with United still competing in every competition possible to them, there is no time to dwell on defeats, and Ten Hag had many of his players back at Carrington earlier today before they head to the City Ground.
MEN Sport have picked out three key takeaways from Monday's session, including the likely return to action for Casemiro and a hint at Jadon Sancho's first involvement since October.
Steve Cooper claim
Steve Cooper has suggested Nottingham Forest being out of the FA Cup could give his side an advantage against Manchester United in the two-legged semi-final of the League Cup, as his players will have the opportunity to be rested.
United will play Forest in the first leg of the semi-final on Wednesday night and the second leg will be played at Old Trafford a week later, but Erik ten Hag's side have a game against Reading in the FA Cup between those two fixtures.
Reading, who are managed by Paul Ince, will visit Old Trafford on Saturday, 28 January, whereas Cooper will be able to give his Forest players a rest should he wish, as they were knocked out of England's oldest cup competition at the first hurdle.
Cooper spoke at his pre-match press conference on Monday afternoon and he looked ahead to the two-legged semi-final.
