Although the transfer window closed on Tuesday night, there are still opportunities for Manchester United in the market. But it is still a bit urgent.
According to the Manchester Evening News Manchester United have received a bid for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr rejected on Monday night. However, hope is not lost.
The transfer window for the purchase of players between the clubs in the English league system is open until 16 October and as such, the parties can negotiate further about Sarr.

However, there is one big catch ,. If Sarr is to be registered for games in the Champions League this autumn, the transfer must be completed already on Tuesday.
– United wanted a loan
The local newspaper writes that United are almost desperate to get a wing into the first team, but that attempts to get Jadon Sancho and Ousmane Dembele went in the sink. United are said to have tried to get a loan from Watford’s Sarr on Monday night.
The Championship club, for their part, want a clean sale of the player and value the man who impressed a lot in the Premier League last season at 45 million pounds. This corresponds to around NOK 535 million.

United’s bid is said to have been a loan and an option to buy worth 25 million pounds. The local newspaper claims that United still prefers a loan agreement.
Earlier in this transfer window, Sarr has also been linked with Liverpool, but the Reds ended up signing Diogo Jota to that position.
Active on deadline day
At Manchester United, striker Mason Greenwood has appeared as a right winger in several games, after Daniel James has been out of the team for a while.
The Manchester Evening News writes that it is still uncertain whether United will make a new attempt at Sarr now, or whether they will wait to strengthen the right wing until the January window.
The Old Trafford club were very active on the last day of the transfer window on Monday, bringing in Alex Telles, Edinson Cavani, Amad DIallo and Facundo Pellestri.
The latter two can both play on the right wing, but are mainly seen as players for the future.
United also secured Donn van de Beek from Ajax in this transfer window.
