A frustrating summer transfer window has now closed with Manchester United having missed out on a number of their top targets, including Jadon Sancho.
The Red Devils were busy on deadline day, though, bringing in Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles and Facundo Pellistri, in addition to agreeing a deal to sign Amad Traore in January. Attention will now switch to other business they may do when the window reopens in the winter.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.
Wednesday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:
Manchester United handed Dayot Upamecano boost?

RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano could reportedly be available for a cut-price figure £38m during next summer's transfer window.
The Frenchman was linked with a move to one of Europe's biggest clubs all throughout the summer, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich all believed to have been in the race to sign Upamecano.
However, the 22-year-old opted to stay at Leipzig and pen a new deal until 2023, but Upamecano's low release clause could supposedly spark an intense battle for the centre-back's signature next summer.
According to The Times, Upamecano's £38m buyout clause will become active in 2021, and United will look to strike a deal for the highly-rated defender ahead of the 2021-22 season.
The Leipzig man is expected to line up against the Red Devils when Julian Nagelsmann's side travel to Old Trafford for their Champions League showdown with United on Wednesday evening.
Upamecano has started all five of Leipzig's Bundesliga games this term and already has one goal to his name in the top flight.

Liverpool have reportedly identified IFK Norrkoping youngster Isak Bergmann Johannesson as a potential transfer target.
A long-term injury to Virgil van Dijk could see the Premier League champions focus their attention on signing a new centre-back during the January window.
However, according to Expressen, the Merseyside giants are also assessing their options with regards to the future.
Liverpool scouts are said to be monitoring the development of Johannesson, who is already starring in Sweden's top flight despite being just 17 years of age.
Norrkoping's chief scout Stig Torbjornsen confirmed the reports, telling the outlet: "It has been a great interest. It's fun that we have many interesting players but it's no secret that clubs are chasing Bergmann Johannesson.
"Norrkoping has quite a lot of money and no need to sell and Isak has a sensible agent and family who know what they want and when he should go. It's no stress for us, it's rolling on. When something comes up that is good for all parties, something may happen."
Manchester United and Juventus have also been linked with the Icelandic prospect in the past.
