The Manchester Evening News say the unnamed squad member met his representatives to discuss a move away. However, a deal hasn’t gone through because the club’s valuation put off prospective buyers. The player in question was set to move in January but he eventually stayed put. When a deal didn’t happen, chief executive Ed Woodward is said to have apologised to the player for denying him a transfer. The MEN say there’s still a chance Jose Mourinho might sanction his - and others’ - departures in January.

United have had a relatively quiet deadline day with Matty Willock the only mover.



He’s completed a season-long loan move to Dutch side Utrecht.

But Mourinho must be happy with the squad at his disposal at this current moment in time after a perfect start to the Premier League campaign, leaving them top of the pile going into the international break.

United are the only Premier League team to win all three game so far and are yet to concede a goal.
