Neville, known for his forthright analysis, didn't hold back in his assessment. I'm no further forward with him, he said, as reported by Manchester Evening News. The jury is out. He's well off it compared to the other summer signings United made up front, like [Matheus] Cunha and [Bryan] Mbeumo. He looks awkward, he had a couple of good opportunities against Forest, but his touch wasn't quite right. For 80 million, you can say he's young and settling in, but you still want to see a bit more.

Jarrad Branthwaite continues to draw serious attention from some of the Premier League's biggest clubs, with both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur closely monitoring the young defender's situation at Everton. The 23-year-old remains one of the most promising centre-backs in English football and top Premier League clubs are interested in signing him, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

Manchester United are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Brazilian striker Vitor Roque. The 20-year-old has done quite well for Palmeiras, scoring 17 goals this season. He could prove to be an excellent long-term investment for Manchester United if they manage to get the deal done. They could use more cutting-edge in the final third, and the Brazilian would be a solid acquisition.

Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina (hamstring) and Dilane Bakwa (unspecified) remain sidelined with injuries, while Chris Wood (knee) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (groin) will both be assessed ahead of kickoff. Ruben Amorim hopes to have Harry Maguire available after the defender missed the Brighton win with a minor issue, though Lisandro Martínez remains sidelined with a knee injury. If Maguire returns, Leny Yoro could drop out, joining Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw in a back three.

[I enjoyed playing] anywhere really, anywhere across the midfield or forward line. I was at my best when just going to play and I'd pop up on the left or the right and I'd pop up behind midfielders at times. Just playing, being on the pitch in the attacking third, that was what I liked and enjoyed -- if you wanted one position, then probably the No. 10.

We're only a week or so away from when I was thinking the manager was under pressure, by the way, so we've got to be really careful here, Gary Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. We could be there again in a couple of weeks, it's that type of season, that type of feeling. That's never happened with Amorim Gary Neville

The Red Devils could do with strengthening in midfield at the moment, and it seems one name on their list is Andrey Santos from their big six rivals Chelsea. That's according to a report from Football Insider, though it's not considered likely that Chelsea will sell a prospect like Santos to someone like Man Utd. The Brazilian is highly regarded after an impressive loan spell at Strasbourg, and one imagines Chelsea will be keen to make more use of him soon.

Freed by Napoli's front-foot approach and the abundance of service from creative midfielders and wide men, the Dane has shown form that made Man United sign him in the first place. The goals have arrived in varied fashion, first-time finishes, surges in transition, and decisive touches in crowded areas, showing that he has managed to rediscover his form and confidence.

Manchester United won the Premier League in 2008-09 and 2010-11, two of Sir Alex Ferguson's last three titles. Ferguson won 13 league titles in all during his time in charge of Man United and led generations of elite players through the most dominant period of the club's history. There were a handful of players who were a little bit different, who played with an extra twinkle in the eye, and two-time title winner Dimitar Berbatov was certainly one of those.

We need to go to Europe because of everything. Our club needs to be in Europe, it's hard to have a very, very good squad. Imagine for me to have Kobbie Mainoo with that [many] minutes that he's playing, he needs more games for me to make a rotation because, with one game [a week], it's really hard.

Vasco da Gama attacker Rayan continues to be linked with a move away from the Brazilian club, and several Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation. Rayan has been linked with Tottenham and Arsenal recently. According to a report from Bolavip, Manchester United are not following the 19-year-old attacker, and they could look to make a move for him in future. Newcastle are keen on the Brazilian as well.

Among those clubs, Manchester United were initially seen as serious contenders. According to reports, Ruben Amorim had expressed admiration for Lewandowski's professionalism and experience. Amorim viewed the Polish striker as an ideal short-term addition, someone who could still perform at a high level while also mentoring United's younger attacking talents. However, the final decision was taken out of Amorim's hands.
