Manchester United legend Gary Neville has delivered his verdict after the team saw their winning run come to an end against Nottingham Forest . The Red Devils earned a point thanks to Amad’s late equaliser at the City Ground, having seen Sean Dyche’s side come from behind to take the lead through goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolo Savona. United headed into the match full of confidence following three consecutive victories. However, Ruben Amorim’s side were less impressive against Forest , with Neville highlighting one player who struggled to have an impact on the game . Away from the pitch, United will be preparing their plans for the upcoming January transfer window . It has been claimed that Barcelona have discussed the future of loanee Marcus Rashford , while the Red Devils are reportedly eyeing up a move for a highly-rated Real Madrid prospect. Here, Mirror Football takes a closer look at some of the headlines surrounding United. Manchester United icon Gary Neville has admitted to still being unconvinced by Benjamin Sesko . The young striker was one of three forwards brought in to bolster United’s attack this summer, arriving for £66.4million, potentially rising to £74m, from RB Leipzig. Sesko has scored twice for United in 11 appearances, making his seventh start in the draw at Forest. While Neville understands there is a lot of pressure on the 22-year-old forward, he admitted to not being impressed by Sesko’s performance across the 90 minutes. "I'm no further forward with him. The jury is out," Neville told NBC Sports. "He's well off it compared to the other summer signings that Man United made up front in Cunha and Mbeumo. "He looks awkward, he had a couple of really good opportunities in the first half - when balls got played over the top. And his touch wasn't quite right. "For £80million, you can say he's young, or has a lot of potential and he's only just settling in, but you still want to see a bit more." Marcus Rashford has thrived since joining Barcelona this summer. The United loanee had scored five goals and provided seven assists in 13 games prior to the weekend, with the 28-year-old keen to stay at the Camp Nou beyond this season. Spanish publication Sport has reported that Rashford’s representatives have already held talks with Barcelona over the prospect of signing permanently . Rashford still has two-and-a-half years on his United contract, but Barcelona have a £27m option to buy in the summer. While that would represent a shrewd move for Barcelona, should Rashford’s form continue, the Spanish club’s financial issues have been well-documented. It is suggested that one potential solution would be for Rashford to sign a long-term contract until 2030 to help spread the fee, albeit on reduced terms compared to the current salary in his United contract. Manchester United are reportedly being rivalled by Aston Villa in the race to sign Real Madrid starlet Endrick ahead of the January transfer window. The highly-rated Brazilian striker officially joined Los Blancos from Palmeiras last year after turning 18, making 37 appearances across all competitions. However, Endrick had to wait until Real's victory over Valencia on Sunday to make his first appearance of the season under new coach Xabi Alonso. The Brazil international’s lack of game time ahead of the World Cup has led to speculation about a potential move away from Real Madrid. The Daily Star reports that United are alert to the possibility of signing Endrick on loan in January. However, the Red Devils will likely face competition for the forward’s signature, with Villa and Juventus said to be among the teams who have also expressed an interest in Endrick.
