Nottingham Forest could come up against a Manchester United side without two of their World Cup stars when the Premier League resumes.
The Reds make the trip to face Valencia in their final friendly of the winter break on Friday (6.30pm kick-off UK time). After that, all eyes will be on their return to competitive action.
That starts with a Carabao Cup clash at Blackburn Rovers next Wednesday (December 21). A trip to Old Trafford on December 27 will then be the first league match back for Steve Cooper’s side.
