Manchester United will be active in the transfer market on the final day of the summer window.
The window opened at the beginning of June before briefly closing due to the Club World Cup. United have conducted the majority of their business, but there is still work to do on the final day.
The deadline is 7pm today, which is a four-hour shift from the traditional 11pm closure.
Here are the deals United could complete on transfer deadline day:
Senne Lammens
Lammens has been left out of successive Royal Antwerp squads and discussions with United continue. The goalkeeper has not agreed personal terms, but it’s hoped a breakthrough can be reached.
Galatasaray have been linked with a move for the Belgian shot-stopper ahead of the deadline.
United admire Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who could be a potential alternative to Lammens, but the Argentina international earns £200,000 per week at Villa Park.
United did not budget for the signing of a first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the window.
Ruben Amorim has watched Altay Bayindir make mistakes against Arsenal and Burnley in the Premier League. Andre Onana was recalled against Grimsby and made an error for their second goal.

At the time of writing, Rasmus Hojlund’s move to Napoli has yet to be confirmed. He is leaving on a season-long loan, with the obligation to make it permanent included.
United will receive a €6million (£5.2m) loan fee for Hojlund and €44m (£38m) next summer when the obligation, which depends on certain conditions, is triggered.
Hojlund will reunite with Scott McTominay at the Italian champions.
Antony
Will Antony complete his transfer to Real Betis? The Brazilian has held out for a move to Betis all summer after his loan last season, but the Spanish club have struggled to finance a deal.
United would have to sell Antony for £32.8m to avoid making a PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules) loss, and it would not be a shock to see him join Betis as part of a fresh loan deal.
It seemed like a deal was already agreed last Friday. Reports indicated a bid had been accepted and the terms of a permanent transfer had been agreed, but Betis released a formal statement saying: “Betis has retired its offer. Betis cannot afford a transfer fee, nor the amounts the player is supposed to receive.”
It feels like there could be another twist with Antony and Betis before the transfer deadline.

Last month, Roma contacted United to discuss a loan move for Sancho with an obligation to buy for £20million next summer, but the Italians could not agree on personal terms with the winger.
Sancho’s move to Chelsea broke down due to his wage demands, so the London club decided to pay a £5m penalty charge to United to break their obligation to sign the winger. The 25-year-old needs to be realistic with his expectations for his next destination.
United shifted Sancho at the eleventh hour last summer and it could go down to the wire again.
Tyrell Malacia
Malacia recently celebrated his 26th birthday and interest has been sparse following his loan with PSV, but Spanish club Elche have been credited with late interest in the Dutch defender.
Academy departures
Zachary Baumann is set to leave on a permanent transfer before the deadline, while Sam Mather could be on the move (potentially permanently) after attracting interest.
Ethan Ennis is set to leave on loan – there is a choice between Fleetwood Town and Plymouth – and Rhys Bennett should head out. Ethan Williams completed a loan move to Falkirk on Sunday afternoon.
Harry Amass is set to complete a season-long loan move to Sheffield Wednesday.
