Manchester United travel to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Red Devils are currently on their best winning run in the Premier League under Ruben Amorim, having recorded three consecutive victories in the competition.
Amorim’s side sit sixth in the top flight standings at present, but the Portuguese will want to see his side continue their good run of form and move up the table in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, it has emerged that the Manchester club are eyeing a move for a Ligue 1 midfielder.

The report claims that the Manchester outfit have had international conversations about the 18-year-old, who has impressed for Lille this season.
Bouaddi is a product of Lille’s youth academy and has now made 67 appearances for the French side at senior level.
So far this season he has featured in all 13 of Lille’s games, including ten Ligue 1 matches.
Fellow Premier League side Arsenal are also said to be interested in the teenager, who has also attracted attention from clubs elsewhere in Europe.
Bouaddi is under contract with Lille until the end of the 2026/27 season, but it appears that the Ligue 1 side could face a battle to keep hold of the talented youngster beyond next summer.
United have been on the hunt for a new midfielder for some time now and attempted to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton and Hove Albion over the summer.
It appears that those in charge of the club are still keen to add a midfielder to Amorim’s squad, and United could look to sign Bouaddi having previously lured defender Leny Yoro from Lille to Old Trafford.
