Manchester United are considering the futures of three loan stars who are currently playing in the Championship.
Ethan Laird, Hannibal Mejbri and Amad are all applying themselves in England's second tier after making summer moves, but each individual has a recall option available. United are conscious that more minutes will further their development yet still have to consider the make-up of the first-team squad, according to the MEN.
Erik ten Hag is still in the midst of building a playing group and may have to utilise the younger players to fill holes that still exist. Comings and goings in the New Year may well influence who - if any - return to Old Trafford earlier than planned from their spells away.
