7 Manchester United could be in for a seismic day on the market after an overtly quiet transfer window thus far.
Despite endless links regarding incomings and outgoings, the Reds have yet to complete any business of note since the window opened at the beginning of the month.
Currently, the only deal in its very final stages is Antony’s loan move to Real Betis, where he’ll look to reignite his stagnant career before returning to Old Trafford ahead of the 2025/2026 campaign.
Heading into January, it was hugely anticipated that Marcus Rashford would be the first out the door after being repeatedly omitted by Ruben Amorim. Now, after being uninvolved for nine successive matches, his future looks as uncertain as ever.
Alejandro Garnacho enters transfer tug-of-war

It’s thought that the Serie A leaders will return with an improved proposal imminently, with Sky Sports’ Gianluca Di Marzio confirming that there is a ‘meeting planned’ for today with ‘negotiations underway’ between all parties.
His agent also added fuel to the fire last night when sharing a snap of himself in attendance at Stamford Bridge – just hours after numerous outlets claimed Chelsea were ready to step up their pursuit of the 20-year-old.
Previous reports have stated that United won’t actively push Garnacho out the door this year, but he’s no longer considered unsellable like he once used to be amid their endeavours to stay within the division’s financial constraints.
Having signed in a £420,000 deal from Atletico Madrid’s academy in 2020, Garnacho’s prospective sale would generate straight profit for the club. However, a replacement would undoubtedly be necessary if he were to depart.
