Fabrizio Romano has given his famous here we go on the deal which will see United pay the Italian club a €10 million loan fee. Signing him permanently next summer will set the Red Devils back €20m plus €5m in add-ons.

The Moroccan has already completed the first part of his medical and is now on his way to England.

Reguilon, Bayindir confirmed

Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Sergio Reguilon has joined the club on loan from Tottenham and that he could feature against Arsenal on Sunday. "He is here, he trained," Ten Hag said. "Yes [he will be available]."

The Red Devils had many names on their transfer list for that area of the pitch and had identified Chelsea's Marc Cucurella as a key target, but the Blues were unwilling to include a clause in which Man Utd could terminate the loan in January.

There is no fee involved, nor is there a buy option, but Man Utd will be covering Reguilon's wages in full for the duration of the loan move.

Man Utd have also announced the €7m signing of Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce to replace Dean Henderson.

Moreover, Ten Hag has revealed that summer signing Rasmus Hojlund could make his long-awaited debut against Arsenal after recovering from a back injury.

Youngsters leave

Several Man Utd youngsters have departed the club on Deadline Day. Marc Jurado and Alvaro Fernandez have headed back to their native Spain, with the former joining relegated Espanyol permanently, while the latter has signed for LaLiga side Granada on loan.

Teden Mengi, meanwhile, has departed for Premier League new boys Luton Town in a permanent deal.

Greenwood set for shock transfer?

Fabrizio Romano and Di Marzio are reporting that disgraced forward Mason Greenwood could be heading to Lazio. The player is said to be open to the move, but the final decision will be made by eccentric former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri who has clashed with Lazio president Claudio Lotito already on several transfers and reportedly 'ruined' some of them.

The 21-year-old also has at least two suitors in Turkey, with Istanbul giants Besiktas thought to be among them.

Tagliafico responds

Nicolas Tagliafico has hit back at 'fake news' regarding a potential Lyon exit. The Argentine has been linked with a move to Man Utd in recent days after Luke Shaw sustained a muscle injury in training.

Tagliafico, a former Erik ten Hag player, was seen as a potential option, and FootballTransfers exclusively revealed that the World Cup winner was keen on a reunion with his former Ajax boss.

After the recent news that former Chelsea target Bradley Barcola has joined Paris Saint-Germain, L'Equipe began reporting that Tagliafico was angered by this as Lyon had let Barcola leave but not him.

However, Tagliafico quote tweeted a post by Footmercato reporter Sebastien Denis, with 'fake news' to dispel any myths around his situation at Lyon.

Joao Neves to Old Trafford?

Man Utd have held talks with Benfica over Joao Neves who has been dubbed 'Bruno Fernandes 2.0' in his homeland.

The Sun have reported that United have initiated contact with the 18-year-old, but they may have to wait until 2024 to secure his signature as Benfica don't plan on losing the youngster until next summer at the earliest.
