There are just a handful of games remaining at the World Cup - meaning Manchester United are edging closer to a return to action.
Erik ten Hag's side headed into the mid-season break off the back of a dramatic last-gasp win against Fulham to nudge them into fifth-spot in the Premier League. However, reinforcements are likely to be needed if the Dutchman is to sustain United's top-four challenge during the second half of the season.
United have been linked with a whole host of attacking names since Cristiano Ronaldo's contract was torn up a fortnight ago, and it is believed the club could seek a replacement for the Portuguese superstar in the New Year. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest transfer news from in and around Old Trafford...
Felix breaks silence
Joao Felix has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford since Ronaldo's exit was confirmed - and the Portugal star has now spoken about his future for the first time.
Felix has struggled to an impression at Atletico Madrid and the club admitted earlier this month that they would consider selling the 23-year-old after the World Cup.
The former Benfica man admitted that he was reluctant to consider his future until after the World Cup - but his decision could be made sooner rather than later after Portugal were eliminated from the tournament by Portugal. Speaking before the match, he said :"I am focused on the World Cup. 100 percent on the World Cup and having a great World Cup.
"We are thinking of having a great tournament and [focused] on the Portuguese. I will talk about Atletico when the World Cup is over."
Ten Hag eyes ex-Tottenham man
Join the debate! Who would you like to see Man Utd sign in January? Let us know here.
Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in a deal that would bring Juan Foyth back to the Premier League.
That is according to Fichajes, who claim that United are mulling over making an approach for the centre-back, who is currently at the World Cup with Argentina.
Foyth struggled to nail down a regular starting spot during his time at Tottenham but has impressed since joining Villarreal on a permanent basis back in 2015. Barcelona are also interested in the 24-year-old, who the report claims has a €42million (£36.1m) release clause in his current deal.
Barcelona stalk Shaw
Spanish giants Barcelona are also believed to be keeping tabs on United full-back Luke Shaw.
The England star is one of several big names at Old Trafford who has less than 12 months to run on his current deal. And although United are keen on thrashing out fresh terms with Shaw, Sport claim that Barcelona are monitoring the situation.
Shaw's spot was under threat from new signing Tyrell Malacia and spent several weeks out of the side earlier in the season. But after winning back his spot before the mid-season break, the 27-year-old is in line for a new contract - if United can fend off interest from Barca.
