Manchester United fans could be forgiven for not quite knowing what to expect from transfer deadline day.

Most think the club should be trying to sign a left-back as competition for Luke Shaw and make an addition in their striking department.

However, amid the flurry of activity on Monday, United were absent from a large amount of speculation.

Joshua Zirkzee, the most likely senior player to leave, was heavily linked to Serie A duo Fiorentina and Juventus, but it seems those exit doors are closing, with Everton's Beto joining Fiorentina and Newcastle's Nick Woltemade set for a medical with Juventus.

An unused substitute in both Premier League games so far, the Netherlands forward will hope to secure a move, which could be the trigger for someone to come into Old Trafford.

There has been lots of interest in youngster Harry Amass, United's only other orthodox left-back, but the 19-year-old has yet to be given clearance to have a medical.

A number of young players; striker Chido Obi, midfielder Jack Moorhouse, Wales youth international Gabriele Biancheri and Paraguay international Diego Leon were not involved in Monday's Premier League 2 victory over Leicester City.

It will be interesting to see how many of them are still United players by the end of the day.
