Manchester United are expected to be busy in the final 24 hours of the summer transfer window, both in regards to incomings and outgoings.
The Red Devils have already bolstered their ranks at both ends of the pitch, signing Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Joshua Zirkzee. Further new arrivals are expected as well, with a deal for Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte being finalised.
A swap deal involving Jadon Sancho and Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling is also being sounded out, with both players not expected to have a future at their respective clubs.

New Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte has spoken out after putting pen-to-paper on a deal at Old Trafford.
He told the Red Devils website: "It is an incredible feeling to join a club of this magnitude - one that is admired all around the world.
"The project that the football leadership discussed with me is extremely exciting - Manchester United is an ambitious club and I am an ambitious player. The passion of supporters is something that is very important to me, I know how incredible United fans are and I cannot wait to experience Old Trafford.
"I’m someone who is so determined to succeed, I will sacrifice and give everything for my team-mates. Together we will fight to win trophies and reach the level where this club needs to be."
Scott McTominay's departure to Napoli has paved the way for Ugarte to join the club, although he won't be registered in time to face Liverpool on Sunday.
Manchester United have snapped up 18-year-old midfielder Sekou Kone.
The Mali youth international has joined the Red Devils from Guidars FC in his homeland and will initially be supported by United’s academy as he settles into life in England.

Manchester United have confirmed that 19-year-old centre-back Sonny Aljofree has joined League Two side Accrington Stanley on loan for the rest of the season.
The club posted a statement that read: "Good luck during your time with Accrington, Sonny!"

Manchester United could be in line for a big payday, with talkSPORT reporting that Newcastle are exploring a big-money move for former winger Anthony Elanga.
The Red Devils sold Elanga to Nottingham Forest last summer but reportedly inserted a sell-on clause into the deal.
So if Elanga does put pen-to-paper on a contract at St James’ Park, United would be handed part of the transfer fee, which would come in handy further down the line.
Manchester United winger Antony was linked with a move away from Old Trafford ahead of tonight’s deadline after failing to start either of his side’s first two Premier League matches.
But transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Brazilian’s proposed loan move to Real Betis is not happening as he wants to stay where he is.

United are said to have already reached an agreement to sign Obi-Martin, who bagged 32 goals for Arsenal at under-18s level. The player’s contract at the Emirates Stadium has expired, but the 13-time Premier League champions can’t complete a deal until a fee is paid to the Gunners.
Manchester United are keen to offload the England international before the summer transfer window closes, though they would have favoured a permanent sale.
Chelsea’s loan offer is similar to the proposal made by Juventus earlier this week, though with a ‘higher total package’. Sancho is keen to join Chelsea.
Manchester United have reportedly registered an interest in signing Chelsea playmaker Carney Chukwuemeka.
According to Sky Sports, a deal has been ‘explored’ which will be separate from Jadon Sancho’s potential move to Stamford Bridge.
The Red Devils have already registered an interest in acquiring the services of Raheem Sterling from the Blues, though Arsenal are also in the frame to sign the England international.
The Scotland international has joined Napoli in a move which has raised funds for further incomings.
But Ten Hag is not truly pleased with the decision, saying: “I'm very happy for him, but it's a mixed feeling because I would have preferred not to lose him. He was very important to us. He has Manchester United in his veins, but the academy players are more valuable [to PSR]."
The midfielder was hoping to feature in the Red Devils’ matchday squad at Old Trafford, though the higher powers at the club felt it would be a ‘stretch’.
Ugarte was not in line to start the match as he had not featured regularly for PSG in pre-season and is therefore lacking match fitness.

The midfielder was keen to join the Red Devils this summer after falling out of favour with Paris Saint-Germain, and he now appears to have been granted his transfer wish.
The Gunners have been offered the chance to sign the England international but a deal with Chelsea is not close at this stage as the Blues would need to agree to contributing to the forward’s wages at the Emirates Stadium.
United still have hope of signing Sterling, with a swap deal involving Jadon Sancho being discussed by Chelsea.
Juventus have decided to pull the plug on their pursuit of Jadon Sancho, reports Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Serie A outfit and Chelsea have been battling it out to sign United’s castaway over the past few days, but Thiago Motta’s side have now left the race.
Juve have ruled that the finances involved in signing Sancho were ‘too high’, especially as they are content with their current crop of forwards.

Manchester United will need to act quickly if they are to win the race to sign Ben Chilwell.
The defender is expected to leave Chelsea today after being publicly transfer listed by Enzo Maresca, and the Red Devils are among those to have been linked with the England international.
However, they are not alone in their admiration of the left-back.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Brentford contacted Chelsea on Thursday to enquire about Chilwell’s situation.
The ex-Leicester City star was expected to leave Stamford Bridge on a permanent basis this week, but with such little time left in the window, it remains to be seen whether loan approaches are entertained as well.
Manuel Ugarte has completed his United medical ahead of his £50.7m move from PSG, and now the race is on to get him registered.
United want to sign up the 23-year-old by midday on Friday to be available for Sunday's home game against Liverpool, especially with Mason Mount ruled out for a month with a hamstring injury.
United agreed a fee on Monday night after United’s Jason Wilcox headed to Paris to finalise negotiations.
Wilcox was joined in the French capital by Matt Hargreaves, the club's director of player negotiations, who cobbled the terms together after Ugarte had long since agreed personal arrangements with the club.
United are keen to sanction the permanent sale of Jadon Sancho before Friday's deadline, and the actions of bitter rivals Liverpool may now have increased the likelihood of this happening.
Juve have a precarious financial position, needing to balance the books carefully in order to adhere with Serie A and UEFA regulations.
Bringing in Sancho, on sizeable wages, is something the Old Lady could only realistically do after permitting one of their big names to leave.
On cue, Liverpool have today concuded the move for Federico Chiesa, who has freed up around £80,000-per-week on the wage bill, and opened an attacking spot for Sancho to fill.
It is understood that Juve are set to accelerate talks with United well into deadline day, in hope a late agreement can be struck.
Raheem Sterling could yet pull on a United shirt before the week is over.
The discussions internally within the club are taking place, but United's INEOS chiefs are adamant that the issue regarding Sterling remains one which is Chelsea's to solve.
Sky Sports transfer expert Darmesh Sheth has since shed a little further light on the unfolding situation.
He told Givemesport: "Manchester United is clearly going to be one of those options.
"Now this has come more from the Chelsea end, because they are offering Sterling to United. Now, United, make no mistake about it, if Sancho was to go, they don't actually need to replace Sancho.
"They feel they've got enough quality and quantity in the forward lines to be able to deal with the Sancho departure.
"However, the idea of Sterling is something that they are considering, but they still maintain that the Sterling issue is a Chelsea issue, so they would be willing to allow Sancho to leave regardless of whether Raheem Sterling was to come to Manchester United or not."
The clearest indication yet of Ivan Toney's transfer away from Brentford has been issued, after boss Thomas Frank spoke out on this weekend's fixture.
Toney must secure a move away from the Bees within the next 48hours in order to wrap up a transfer before the UK deadline, with United and Chelsea still in the reckoning.
Frank has now confirmed that Toney will not be playing for the club this weekend. The striker has yet to make an appearance for Brentford this season as he seeks to settle his future at the Gtech Community Stadium before Friday's deadline and the closing of the Saudi Pro League window on Monday.
"I can say Ivan will not play on Saturday," Frank announced at his pre-match press conference on Thursday. "Ivan is training well, is in good spirits and I am happy to answer more questions about Ivan next time.."

The soon-to-be marquee signing is known to be close friends with international team-mate Darwin Nunez.
The duo will soon be sworn Premier League rivals, but that hasn't stopped Ugarte already speaking out on the Liverpool man this week.
"Darwin [Nunez] had moments where he was killed badly, and that is also something that has a lot of merit when you see where he is today," Ugarte told Uruguayan broadcaster Channel 10.
"You have to be in the right head to get to where he got to with all the damage he got.
"When I see a teammate get hit, I sometimes feel like the next day it could be me, because people kill you the way they put you up there.
"The best thing is to surround yourself with people you love and trust, and not give the ball to the net, because that’s how the net is nowadays."
A year on from his £60m move and inheriting the prestigious No.7 shirt, things have not gone to plan.
Injuries have stopped the former Chelsea man featuring. He was expected to play a huge role at the start of the new season, but now things have taken a turn.
Serie A sides Lazio and Fiorentina have reportedly rejected the chance to pursue Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof.
According to Alfredo Pedulla, Lazio were ‘never convinced’ by the acquisition of the Sweden international and were not willing to open talks for the defender due to his wage demands.
Fiorentina opted against the deal as they were not willing to pay a fee to sign the centre-back, ruling that they will only sign Lindelof if United terminated his contract with the club.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe urged to make Ivan Toney approach
Premier League legend Alan Shearer has urged United to consider a move for Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
The England international has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this week, but Shearer believes he should snub the approaches in favour of joining the Red Devils if an approach is made.
He told Betfair: “He only has one year left on his contract, and I understand why some players would want to go to Saudi Arabia, but for someone like him who's in the prime of his career, he's got another four or five years ahead of him and I would hope that he stays in English football because I think he has a lot to offer.
“I am slightly surprised that Man United haven't enquired about him. Maybe they have, maybe there's something brewing behind the scenes that we don't know about, but I think he'd do pretty well at Old Trafford.”
Manchester United are reportedly hoping to offload Victor Lindelof before the transfer window closes.
According to Manchester World, the Red Devils are ‘actively looking to find a buyer’ for the Sweden international.
The defender has slipped further down the pecking order at Old Trafford as a result of several incomings, though a recent injury has made finding a suitor tricky for United.
An unnamed Premier League side has made contact with the camp of Kingsley Coman to learn more about his situation, according to Sky Sports.
The winger is keen to leave Bayern Munich this week and has been linked with a host of English sides previously, such as Manchester United and Arsenal.
Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal are pushing to sign the France international and have tabled a lucrative contract in the hope of turning his head.
Manchester United are reportedly willing to offer Raheem Sterling a £150,000-per-week contract at Old Trafford.
GiveMeSport report that the Red Devils view the England international as a squad player and therefore his salary at the club would reflect that.
Sterling currently earns £325,000 per week at Chelsea, and his immense wages has been a sticking point in negotiations with suitors since it became clear that he did not have a future under Enzo Maresca.
The Red Devils are not willing to come close to matching those demands as they view the winger as a ‘back up for Marcus Rashford’.
After weeks of negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain, the midfielder is expected to be announced as a United player today.
The 23-year-old was shortlisted as a top target at Old Trafford this summer, and it remains to be seen whether he is their final incoming of the window.
