Manchester United are reportedly preparing to recruit in the January transfer window, and their efforts may be boosted by one high-profile departure which could increase funds

Everything points to an intriguing few months at Manchester United with questions lingering around Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future and the club's search for a replacement.

Saturday's clash with Watford is viewed by many as a must-win match on the back of three defeats in four Premier League games prior to the international break.

It may well be the first of many vital encounters during a jam-packed festive schedule over the next one-and-a-half months.

And, of course, there is no let-up in the New Year, when the January transfer window kicks into action, and with it the transfer merry-go-round.

Featuring updates on long-standing targets Erling Haaland and Kieran Trippier as well as a potential winter exit, here is Saturday's Manchester United transfer round-up.

Manchester United will reportedly need to pay an eye-watering €350million (£295m) to sign Erling Haaland when all costs are taken into account.
