The January transfer window always teases the possibility of change but right now Erik ten Hag wants consistency as he looks to settle upon an established side and build the momentum required to surge up the Premier League table. For all of their failures this season, the United manager has been quick to point at the club's injury situation as a contributing factor to their struggles. The Manchester Evening News revealed yesterday that the French defender feels he is being pushed out of United after the club decided against extending his contract by one year. The former Real Madrid defender has missed seven games this season due to five different cases of injury and illness. Overall, he has been an enforced absence for 38 games out of a possible 138, effectively an entire league season.
