Liverpool v Man Utd: How many title races have they had?
Manchester United have reportedly put off a move to sign Kieran Trippier this month following his 10-week ban from the Football Association, although the need for cover at right-back remains. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was signed for £50million in 2019 and has helped make United a stronger defensive unit since his arrival.
He's already registered five assists this season in just 14 league matches and has been a favourite of Gareth Southgate's in the England squad.
United's need for defensive cover on the right though still remains with Brandon Williams being strongly linked with a loan move away from Old Trafford.
The report also claims that Williams is pushing for a loan move away in order to find regular minutes.
Reports earlier this month suggested Newcastle had already agreed a deal in principle for the 20-year-old.

But it's been claimed recently that the Magpies have now ended their interest in Williams with Solskjaer desperate for him to stay.
Williams enjoyed a breakthrough season last year as he featured in 35 games across all competitions and was the starting left-back in the latter stages of the Europa League.
He's proven to be a versatile option under Solskjaer with the ability to play on either side of defence, but he was predominantly used on the left last season.
Alex Telles' arrival in the summer though pushed him down the pecking order and he's only made a handful of appearances this campaign.
Williams was handed a rare start last weekend in the FA Cup though as he featured on the right-side of defence, suggesting Solskjaer plans to promote the academy graduate as Wan-Bissaka's back-up.
