The latest Man Utd transfer news in the final week of the January transfer window.
Manchester United are set to announce a double transfer exit this week as we near the deadline of the January window.
United have until 7pm on Monday 2 September to get any deals done, with several players expected to depart on loan before the window shuts. Manchester World revealed earlier in the month that United did not anticipate any major arrivals in January and were prepared to wait until the summer to continue their rebuild.
