What a manic Monday it has been for Manchester United.
Instead of rushing into everything tomorrow on deadline day, the club have been very busy today according to reports, agreeing to buy an untested 19-year-old for £36m, loaning out another, plus agreeing to sell two first-team players, including finally agreeing to sell David De Gea to Real Madrid.
The day started with the news that United had bid £36m for the Monaco winger Anthony Martial. Soon after this the French Football Federation announced that he had left the national team camp to fly to Manchester. He has now arrived at the club's Carrington training ground.
Then came the pictures of Javier Hernandez over in Bayer Leverkusen. The Mexican striker is over in Germany as he nears a £9m transfer.
