Manchester United's transfer deadline day: Live coverage and open thread

Manchester United face the most eventful transfer deadline say since... well, ever, hopefully, as they look to tie up deals for several players.

David Moyes has not added to his squad since taking over from Alex Ferguson other than the £2m acquisition of Guillermo Varela, and various reports suggest that the club will attempt to tie up deals for Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera, Leighton Baines and Daniele de Rossi.

Those four are the most well-sourced rumours, in order of most to least likely, but there could be some other movement too. United have been quiet over their dealings in recent weeks, so there could be surprises in store.
