Transfer deadline day is here, and Manchester United could yet be very busy with plenty of players linked with an exit.
It has already been an exciting transfer window for Manchester United, and deadline day could follow this trend.
United remain in need of a left-back, while a forward and young Louis Page are all rumoured to be potentially on the cards.
But exits will probably end up being the order of the day. Here are five players who may yet depart.

Despite Michael Carrick clearly being a fan of Harry Amass, he looks likely to depart on transfer deadline day, with plenty of interest.
Amass was the subject of interest from Burnley, which has since dissipated. While Wolves, Norwich, and West Ham are also keen on a deadline day move, which looks likely to be a loan rather than a permanent move.
Amass should only depart if United signs another left-back, and there is a thought that he could yet remain at the club if no signing is made, and be the deputy to Luke Shaw.
One to watch closely.
After mild success at Lausanne last season, Enzo Kana-Biyik has been back at United this summer and has been with the U21s, although he doesn’t appear to be set for much football based on the opening two games.
Due to this, the 19-year-old needs to be heading on loan on deadline day; his absence from the youth side suggests that we should maybe expect some movement on this front.
He changed agents last week, and so it will be interesting where he ends up. If he doesn’t move, you would have to ask why.
The future of Joshua Zirkzee is somehow still up for debate on deadline day after he snubbed a move to Fiorentina.
Juventus have already signed an alternative in the form of Nick Woltemade, and so Zirkzee won’t be heading to Turin.
Despite this, Zirkzee still has interest from Napoli, and this appears to be his only option at the moment, although a left-field move could emerge.
Zirkzee isn’t in Carrick’s plans and needs to leave on deadline day; this one could go to the wire.
Another youngster who should have been sent on loan this summer is Chido Obi, with the striker’s need for first-team football not a new revelation, as he was actually linked with a switch as early as May.
Feyenoord are linked with Obi on deadline day, which would be an interesting move for him. But it is vital he goes somewhere.
Obi is beyond academy football and needs to flex his muscles in professional football at a higher level to continue his development this season.
A huge talent, but he needs this move to grow and become a viable option for United.
The final name on the list is Diego Leon, who hasn’t been playing for United’s U21 side this season so far, which makes it clear that he should be heading on loan.
Leon hasn’t been very good for United in his year at the club, looking behind his peers and in desperate need of a loan switch.
All signs point towards Leon heading on a loan on deadline day, although right now, there aren’t many links.
