Manchester United completed a flurry of late transfer activity on Friday, agreeing a season-long loan for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat just before the 11pm deadline. The deal, worth £10m, is subject to international clearance and includes an option to make the move permanent for €20m plus €5m in add-ons.
Earlier in the day, United signed left-back Sergio Reguilón on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, following a long-term injury to Luke Shaw. Reguilón, who has a break clause in his contract, said he was ready to contribute after being persuaded by manager Erik ten Hag. The club also secured Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir on a four-year contract with an option for a further year, replacing Dean Henderson, who was sold to Crystal Palace.
Jonny Evans returned to Old Trafford on a one-year deal, 14 years after his previous spell ended. The 35-year-old Northern Irish defender won three Premier League titles during his first stint at the club. All three players signed earlier are eligible for Sunday's trip to Arsenal.
Amrabat, who played under Ten Hag at Utrecht six years ago, expressed his delight at joining the club of his dreams. The 27-year-old Moroccan international, capped 49 times, impressed at the Qatar World Cup and is seen as an upgrade on Fred, who was sold to Fenerbahce.
Mason Greenwood's future remains uncertain after no deal was agreed before the Italian transfer window closed at 7pm. Lazio had explored a free transfer for the 21-year-old, who has been told he will not play for United following an internal inquiry. Meanwhile, United were hoping to finalise the sale of Eric Bailly, while Donny van de Beek looks set to stay.
