Manchester United would need to complete the signing of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro and register him by 12pm on Friday if he were to make his debut against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday evening.
However, sources have since told the Manchester Evening News there is 'no chance' of this happening, given the player needs to gain a visa as well as Premier League approval to be registered.
It means the earliest supporters could get to see Casemiro in action would be away at Southampton a week on Saturday if a deal was completed within the next week.
