Man Utd transfer round-up: Dembele wanted by three clubs as Van de Beek decides future

Manchester United are poised for a busy deadline day, but barring a dramatic late twist, it looks to be a case of more outs than ins ahead of Monday's cut-off.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been left frustrated at the club's lack of transfer activity this month, with the Red Devils yet to make any additions to their squad.

A number of fringe players have been allowed to depart on loan though, with Anthony Martial leaving for Sevilla, Amad Diallo heading to Rangers and Phil Jones seemingly on his way to Bordeaux.

However, not all have seen their desire to depart approved with Jesse Lingard 's future still very much up in the air.

Three stars names in Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane were recruited in the summer and, with the clock ticking towards the closure of the latest transfer window, one more big name could be on his way.

Heading into deadline day, Mirror Football rounds up all the gossip coming out of Old Trafford, with plenty of deals still to be done.

United eyeing Dembele deal

The future of Barcelona 's Ousmane Dembele remains one of the biggest talking points heading into the final day of the transfer window this month, but today could be the day his destiny is decided.

According to Sport, the Frenchman's representatives have held discussions with United as the forward appears to be closing in on a Nou Camp exit.

The Spanish outlet claim the 24-year-old is edging ever closer to a Premier League move though the Red Devils face competition from rivals Chelsea, in addition to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcelona have reportedly told the winger to find himself a new club ahead of Monday's deadline having failed to agree terms over a contract extension, with his current deal set to expire in the summer.

According to the Daily Mail, Dembele is available for as little as £18m this month with the Blaugrana look to recoup some of the initial £96m they splashed out on the former Borussia Dortmund man in the summer of 2017, before he becomes a free agent.

However, his reported £210,000-a-week wages could prove to be a significant stumbling block for potential suitors.

Van de Beek's decision

The future of Donny van de Beek finally looks to have been resolved after the United outcast decided to join Everton over Crystal Palace.

The Eagles looked to be all but set to capture the midfielder on loan for the remainder of the season, however, a late offer from the Toffees then complicated matters.

Both Premier League clubs had reportedly reached an agreement but, according to The Athletic, Van de Beek himself decided on Sunday morning that Everton is his preferred destination.

The Merseysiders reached a verbal agreement to appoint Frank Lampard as their new manager on Friday and the former Chelsea legend is believed to have pushed for the club to bring in the Dutch creator.

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Everton will pay the full loan fee plus the player's salary until June, whereas Palace were reportedly only offering to cover 85% of Van de Beek's wages.

Magpies swoop for Henderson

Newcastle may have failed in their attempts to snap up Jesse Lingard on loan from United this month, but they appear to have fared far better in their pursuit of back-up goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

According to the Daily Mail, there is a strong chance the United stopper will join the Magpies before Monday's deadline for the remainder of the season.

The Magpies have been long-term admirers of Henderson, who has openly expressed his desire to depart Old Trafford this month in search of regular first-team football having failed to dislodge David De Gea from United's No.1 spot.

Rangnick appears to have now relented, having previously reiterated his intention to keep Henderson in Manchester due to United's involvement in three different competitions.

Should Henderson join Newcastle, it would rule out the Magpies making a late loan move for Lingard, as Premier League clubs are not permitted to loan two players from the same team.
