Felipe joined, so did Jonjo Shelvey, and they also added goalkeeper Keylor Navas from PSG. "Like any window, you want to close it with the squad in a stronger place, " Steve Cooper said ahead of the window closing. "We've been unfortunate in picking up injuries and illnesses as well and that's added to the jigsaw of putting the squad together.

Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest live stream: EFL Cup prediction, TV channel, watch online, start timeGetty Images Wembley beckons for Manchester United, who welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford with a three-goal lead in the bag from the first leg of the EFL Cup semifinals. It will take something spectacular for the visitors to reach the EFL Cup final and as such Erik ten Hag might be inclined to rotate his side more than usual. Similarly, who could blame Forest if their focus shifted towards Sunday's clash with Leeds United at the bottom of the Premier League.
HOW CAN YOU FOLLOW THE GAME? The second leg of our Carabao Cup semi-final will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK, with kick-off in Manchester scheduled for 20:00 GMT. MUTV will have our regular pre-match show before kick-off (from 18:55), and will provide radio commentary throughout the 90-minute clash. That, along with updates and our exclusive Match Centre, will be available in the United App.
Elsewhere, Jadon Sancho is continuing to train with the team ahead of his return to the matchday squad, but it remains to be seen whether or not that will be for the second leg of our Forest encounter. For our visitors, they will be without first-team loanee goalkeeper Dean Henderson who is injured – but regardless of fitness, he would not be permitted to play against us, his parent club. Newcomer Chris Wood is also unavailable for Steve Cooper’s side due to being cup-tied with former club Newcastle. Taiwo Awoniyi, Morgan Gibbs-White, Cheikhou Kouyate, Moussa Niakhate and Omar Richards are dealing with known injury issues, while Giulian Biancone is out for the season.
Eriksen's injury may have a more profound impact on Ten Hag's thinking regardless of new signings. The United boss has not been one to heavily rotate a side that is competing on four fronts, asking a great deal of Marcus Rashford and Casemiro, among others. In this game of all games, surely there is an argument to simply play the backups and trust them to hold on to a convincing lead? Nottingham Forest: It would hardly be a transfer window if Forest were not adding more bodies at the close of the day.
Still, this is a club that has a rich heritage in this competition and if they were to overcome their first-leg deficit it would make for quite an addition to Forest's history.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FIRST LEG? Ten Hag’s side are in good stead, with a three-goal advantage heading into the second leg of our semi-final encounter with Forest. The in-form Rashford netted a wonderful solo goal in the opening six minutes before January recruit Wout Weghorst scored his first for the club just before half-time. Bruno Fernandes was on target moments before the end to increase our tally on the night. The Reds have one foot in the final after a comprehensive victory, and will surely look to keep momentum going with another win on Wednesday night.
