Manchester United face a race against time to secure their transfers on the day of the transfer deadline, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer desperate for reinforcements after Sunday’s humiliating 6-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, and they are expected at least two new additions today.
Free agent Edinson Cavani will join United after leaving Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, and the forward’s agent will charge a fee of around £ 10 million due to the absence of a transfer fee, while also expected that Porto defender Alex Telles moved to Old Trafford after flying to Manchester yesterday.
But United’s interest in Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho has not made any headway and as a result he is expected to make a late move for Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembélé. In terms of departures, Diogo Dalot completed a loan to AC Milan yesterday afternoon, although Solskjaer would be forgiven for trying to sell out the entire squad after Sunday’s horror show. Follow all the latest news on transfers, rumors and deals made.
NEVILLE IN WOOD
Gary Neville has been an outspoken critic of Manchester United’s transfer policy and has given voice to the dissatisfied fan base.
United Executive Vice President Ed Woodward is the target of the most criticism because he is the man in charge of the transfers.
But Neville doesn’t think Woodward is the problem and that it’s Manchester United’s structure that could be improved. He said:
“The reason the light is shining on Ed Woodward … it doesn’t have to be shining on Ed Woodward. Over a period of 10 to 15 years he has proven to be a very competent person in running this club from a business perspective.
“The club is profitable from an operational point of view, the commercial revenues are out of scale, even the ticket prices have stopped, which may not get much publicity, but it has done for several years.
But why not set up a football structure, an individual in the club who is the best in the world with sporting experience to make sure Manchester United is ahead of the game? Before the game with contract players, dealing with agents, these are really difficult things to do at all levels.
“It’s not easy to do these things, so I’m not sitting here saying it’s an easy job that he has, it’s not.”

IS THE DEMBELE AGREEMENT STILL HAPPENING?
Yes, according to Duncan Castles, who claims that Barcelona have changed their stance on the 23-year-old and will allow him to go on loan for the entire season.
But only if he signs a new long-term contract with the club. Here’s what Manchester United wanted to be able to catch the winger if this turns out to be true:

Cantino gave an update to Sport Witness saying: “It is not closed yet, but we hope it will be done in the next few hours.”

Amad Traore’s move to Manchester looks increasingly likely to be completed in the January transfer window if Atalanta and United can agree on the details today.
That’s according to Manchester Evening News Man Utd editor Samuel Luckhurst, who tweeted:

SANCHO’S CALL DELAYED ENGLAND
Jadon Sancho has to wait before joining the England team after breaking coronavirus protocols by attending a surprise party for Tammy Abraham.
Sancho, Abraham and Ben Chilwell, who was also at the party, must undergo another coronavirus test before they are allowed to meet with the rest of the squad.
Reece James has been hired as a backup.

TRAORE ESTABLISHED FOR THE JANUARY MOVEMENT
Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign 18-year-old Atalanta winger Amad Traoré for € 30 million (£ 27.2 million) plus extras.
The teenager was heading to Parma on loan before United moved in early in the deadline.
The winger, who scored in his Serie A debut last season, will join United in January with a pending work permit.
Atalanta forward Papu Gómez recently said about Traoré: “He is a future star, believe me. During our training sessions he plays like Messi! You can’t stop it, it’s incredible, our centrals have serious problems when Traoré is on the field … it’s fantastic! ”.

YOUNG PEOPLE COULD STAY AT OLD TRAFFORD
Chris Smalling’s move to Rome seemed like a certainty a couple of weeks ago, but now it may not happen.
Manchester United are awaiting their £ 20 million starting price with Rome reluctant to pay the fee. If this deal goes ahead, it seems likely to be a last-minute deal with Smalling having a private jet on hold.
However, there could still be a place for Smalling at Old Trafford as the club faces defensive problems and the center-back is a worrying position.

ROMERO TO EVERTON?
The Daily Express They report that Everton have started talks with Manchester United to bring Sergio Romero to Goodison Park as a replacement for Jordan Pickford.
Romero has dropped to third option for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after David De Gea and Dean Henderson nad would be more likely to start at Everton.
Carlo Ancelotti is eager to sign another Everton goalkeeper also linked to Paulo Gazzaniga.
Everton want a loan contract and will look for the best option between the two goalkeepers.
