Joshua Zirkzee: The Dutch forward remains the most high-profile name linked with a late move today. Having struggled for starts under Carrick, a late loan to AS Roma or Juventus is being discussed to help him find form ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Manuel Ugarte: Despite arriving with a high pedigree, the Uruguayan is a candidate for a late transfer as he has struggled at United. A move back to Ligue 1 or Portugal remains possible if a club can cover his significant wages, though United would be left short in midfield.
Gabriele Biancheri: The 19-year-old striker is the subject of a late loan approach from Rotherham United. Following his prolific form for the Under-21s, the Millers are pushing to secure the starlet on a temporary deal to bolster their League One promotion charge.
Louis Jackson: After returning from a loan spell earlier this winter, the young centre-back is available for a fresh move away today. United’s recruitment team is vetting EFL interest to ensure the defender continues his progression in a senior environment for the remainder of the season.
Such exits could pave the way for an incoming, such as Ruben Neves, who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford. While United held talks with the midfielder in December, a deal looks unlikely to materialise today, leaving United to pivot toward alternative midfield targets like Marc Casadó or Kees Smit.
