Manchester United have been guilty of a transfer deadline-day "balls-up" by Crawley Town manager John Yems after D'Mani Mellor's proposed loan switch appears to have fallen through.
The 21-year-old forward had spent the first half of the season on loan with Salford City, a club that already has strong ties with the Red Devils given they boast names such as Gary Neville and Paul Scholes at boardroom level.
However, he was recalled from his first loan stint due to finding playing time hard to come by at Salford, with Mellor making just four appearances for the club during the first half of the campaign.
