Manchester United transfer news live early team news vs Forest as Spurs to trigger Guirassy clause
Last night provided a huge boost for Manchester United supporters without even watching their club play.
A defeat for Tottenham Hotspur opened a window of opportunity for United in the Champions League race. Erik ten Hag's side are now just five points behind Spurs, who sit fifth, a position which could be enough to land a spot at UEFA's top table next season.
As far as transfers are concerned, United fans have been warned they may have to settle with shopping in the loan market. Ten Hag did the same last year when he signed Wout Weghorst and Marcel Sabitzer to patch up a depleted squad.
Yet reports in Spain suggest Antony could be offered to Real Madrid for a cut-price fee. The mooted £30million asking price would deal a £55m hit on United's balance sheet, having only signed the winger 18 months ago.

According to Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo, Sevilla 'want' to sign United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri in next month's transfer window.
The Tunisian has been more involved with the first-team at United than he has in previous years, but he has still not earned as much game time as he would have liked so far this season, playing 10 times in all competitions thus far.
According to French journalist Rudy Galetti, as cited by caughtoffside, United are 'monitoring' AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana ahead of the January transfer window opening for business.
It is reported that United are 'keen' on bringing him to Old Trafford next month after a series of impressive performances in France. The report adds that Monaco are 'asking' for €30million to sell him.
