Manchester United will be hoping they can turn a corner in 2024, having ended 2023 by suffering yet another disappointing defeat as they lost 2-1 to Nottingham Forest.
It was United's 21st defeat across all competitions in 2023, their worst record in a calendar year since 1972, and manager Erik ten Hag will be hoping he can strengthen his squad now that the January transfer window is open.
The Red Devils have been linked with moves for several targets, while a number of players could also be on their way out of the club. With that in mind, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer news from Old Trafford...
Atletico consider Greenwood move
According to Marca, Atletico Madrid are the latest La Liga side to have registered their interest in signing Mason Greenwood.
Greenwood is currently on loan at Getafe and is set to leave United permanently in the summer. Getafe are interested in making his loan move permanent, while the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid have also been linked.
And Marca claim that Atletico have already held initial talks with United about a move for Greenwood, with sporting director Andrea Berta said to be taking 'steps towards a future signing'.
Neville questions four signings
Former United captain Gary Neville has hit out at the club's recent transfer business, questioning the value of the money they have spent on Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Casemiro.
Speaking after their defeat against Forest, Neville said on Sky Sports: "That's the one that's going to stand out on Erik ten Hag, that £85million on Antony. He's nowhere near that level. But even £70million on Hojlund is a lot of money, £55m on Mount, £60m for Casemiro on a five-year deal.
"There's a lot of deals you can start to look at with a glass half empty. Manchester United's recruitment department can't have watched Antony and signed him for £85m. It looks like they've allowed Ten Hag to overrule him. The owners have got to say no.”
Elanga sale slammed
United's decision to sell Anthony Elanga to Forest for £15m over the summer has been criticised by former Premier League midfielder Jamie Redknapp, who has been impressed by the winger's impact at the City Ground.
Elanga has made 10 goal contributions in 20 league appearances so far this season and impressed in Forest's win over United, most notably assisting Morgan Gibbs-White's late winner.
"If you look at the current climate of players and how much they cost, he [Elanga] looks like a real bargain," Redknapp told Sky Sports. "Antony on the other hand, has cost four times as much and he [Elanga] gives you more opportunities going forward, he scores and makes more goals."

who accepts it? The Manager doesnt and the players dont but it is what it is. Still FA cup and only a whisker away from 4th in January is all right. The performances have been shite fair enough. The injuries ridiculous but no one is accepting it. We cant simply sack people manager and players and hope itll get better by whom? we gotta ride the storm. get people fit, shed some dead weight and maybe grab one or two even fecking loans to bolster squad and try get a run going but this is the rollercoaster

For once I slightly agree with Gary Neville. According to a report, United scouts had evaluated Antony at about £25m when he was at Ajax, and United ended up paying £85m for him, which is absolutely insane. Hoijlund can be a good striker in a few years, but €70m for him as an inexperienced 20 year old striker is quite ridiculous.

Ten Hag signings over a period of 2 years are Big Disaster. I think the signings of Onana over Gea was the biggest blunder as other like Antony, Mount too are big loss. Only Casemiro with his first year display & Lisandro are good. We need to let go Sancho, Martial( Free) Antony, Onana, Vara ne( Free), VDB, Tom Heaton( free). Only Bissaka could be offered an extension. United would be making a huge loss on selling say about 125 mil. Varane should not be offer an extension nor Amrabat, Reguilon or Evans next season.
