Marcel Sabitzer could be assigned his dream shirt number at Manchester United should the Austria midfielder complete his proposed deadline day loan to Old Trafford.
After losing Christian Eriksen to injury - with the playmaker expected to be sidelined for at least three months - United are working on a temporary deal with Bayern Munich to sign Sabitzer before the 11pm deadline tonight. But will they get that swoop across the line?
It has all gathered pace rather quickly and the relevant parties have several hours to iron out the move. United will not be hampered by the earlier Bundesliga deadline, either, as that 5pm cut-off only covers incomings.
