Manchester United are in the market for late deals and could be set to earn some much needed capital to invest into their squad by sanctioning a key departure, according to reports.
Manchester United look for Ruben Amorim turnaround
To put it bluntly, Ruben Amorim hasn't endured the tenure he would've liked at Old Trafford so far and his misfortune was only compounded further courtesy of a disastrous EFL Cup exit to Grimsby Town in midweek.
Losing out on penalties, the Red Devils boss has been left under pressure by club chiefs, with reports emerging that Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner could be in the frame to take over at Manchester United if results don't improve.

Wayne Rooney has been critical of the former Sporting boss and claimed that the defeat at Blundell Park could prove to be a 'breaking point' for Amorim, citing his belief that he will find it difficult to turn around the malaise at the club.
He stated on his own show: "There's a pressure at Manchester United which he will never have felt before. When you're not winning games it can start to get to you, and it looks like it was a breaking point for him.
"There's just a little bit too much rotation going on and players getting a little bit lost. When they lose the ball there's massive gaps and spaces and it's a carry on from last season. If it carries on like that, then unfortunately I don't see how it moves forward."
Transfers could be pivotal to a turnaround, and Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher could be set for an Old Trafford move, albeit sales will be necesarry to pulling any further moves off.
If recent reports are to be believed, they could now be set to hasten that process.
Rasmus Hojlund set for Napoli medical
According to Il Mattino, Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is set to undergo a medical at Napoli in a deal that will see the Red Devils inherit around £37.2 million once his initial loan move goes through.
If the Serie A champions secure qualification to next campaign's Champions League, the agreement will convert into an obligation to buy, meaning Amorim's men will receive the full amount quoted.
Across his time at Old Trafford, Hojlund has struck 26 times in 95 appearances in all competitions. Nevertheless, Benjamin Sesko's arrival has pushed him down the pecking order and an exit has been all but ratified.
Alejandro Garnacho's move to Chelsea for £40 million will offer Manchester United the chance to make another marquee signing, if they can push negotiations over the line at this late stage, though it remains to be seen when both deals officially go through.
Either way, Amorim is in need of help to bolster his squad and funds generated from Hojlund's exit will go a long way to achieving that feat.
