Summary

The January transfer window closed on Monday with a new experience for Manchester United fans. The club's restraint in the face of deals they didn't consider good value has been met with a mixed reception by fans.

Ruud van Nistelrooy will return to Old Trafford on Friday for the first time since his short interim spell as manager; one that included unceremoniously dumping Leicester City out of a domestic cup competition.

1:39.6	Reflective of the sensible and financially disciplined approach from the club, do you think?
