While Marcel Sabitzer’s deadline-beating move from Bayern Munich was the big story at Manchester United, there was another deal completed in the final throes of the window.
Understandably, all eyes were on Sabitzer as he flew in from Germany to sign on loan for the remainder of the season. But at the same time, Stoke City faced a similar race against time to finalise a move for Axel Tuanzebe.
Sabitzer’s move was one of the latest in the window, with confirmation coming 70 minutes after the 11pm deadline. Potters fans were made to stay up even later however, with Tuanzebe’s loan move not announced for a further half hour.
