With the winter transfer window closing on Monday, rumours remain, but for Manchester United, their aspirations to qualify for the Champions League are alive

Manchester United were inactive in the January transfer window but have won three games in a row under new interim boss Michael Carrick

Manchester United hero Benjamin Sesko, fresh from netting a dramatic winner in a five-goal thriller with Fulham, admits that Michael Carrick has improved work rate in the Red Devils ranks - allowing an impressive run of results to be enjoyed.

If Fulham was the 'real test' of Carrick's interim period, then his team have got through with a nervy passing grade.

Man Utd have trained at Carrington ahead of the Premier League clash with Tottenham at Old Trafford this weekend.
