The transfer deadline may have passed for English clubs on Tuesday, but elsewhere across Europe is remains open, which means Manchester United might yet see more exits.
It was a completely uneventful deadline day for Manchester United, with the only excitement coming in the hour that Joshua Zirkzee was Everton-bound, with Rayan Ait-Nouri linked as a left-back option.
United ultimately decided, or were forced, to stick with the current squad, unable/unwilling to add a left-back or back-up striker before the countdown hit zero.
But even though time has run out for arrivals, there are still departures we are expecting confirmation of in the coming days.

United did absolutely nothing on deadline day, barring the permanent exit of Louie Bradbury to Stoke City.
But there are three deals still yet to be completed, which may yet be done with the window still open in other countries.
Chido Obi: Linked with a move away all summer, it has frustratingly dragged to the very end as interest from the Eredivisie emerged on deadline day.
Obi was reportedly in talks to join Willem II in the Dutch league, with the deadline for clubs in the Eredivisie closing on Wednesday, September 2nd.
This should be confirmed at some stage in the coming hours, with what could be a strong loan for Obi at a side who create a lot of chances for their place in the league, he could score a lot.
Jack Moorhouse: The young midfielder missed out on a place in the first-team this summer during pre-season, and his time at United is probably coming to an end.
Well, deadline day saw Moorhouse linked with a move to Dundee United by Laurie Whitwell, with the deal sounding relatively complete.
The Scottish window closes on September 3rd, and so Moorhouse’s move to Dundee should be wrapped up in the next day or two.
James Overy: After 24 months, Overy is returning to Australia as a move to Sydney FC is said to be all but concluded for the teenager.
The A-League deadline doesn’t conclude until September 15th, and so there is a chance this isn’t announced for a few weeks yet, although it should be done sooner, as we know he’s already travelled for his medical.
Good permanent move for Overy, which will be announced soon.
While no deals are rumoured, the Swiss Super League transfer window is open until September 8th, and so it wouldn’t be a shock to see a youngster loaned there.
Diego Leon and Gabriele Biancheri are potentially two options for this as both need a loan.
