TRANSIFER TALK: DEADLINE DAY

Views expressed in this article do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Manchester United FC... 10:20 Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has given a candid interview with the Irish Independent revealing details of a chat over the telephone with Everton boss Roberto Martinez yesterday. "That's what Roberto is just saying," he relayed. "United losing changes the thing a bit, they might be upping their offer [for Marouane Fellaini] now. They'll be desperate now to get a midfield player. Leighton Baines won't go. He's a good lad, very solid and is happy where he is. It'll be Fellaini." 10:14 Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says Fabio Coentrao is staying put after the Portugal international full-back was linked with United yesterday. 10:05 Mark Ogden of the Daily Telegraph is quick to shoot down the Mesut Ozil speculation. "Man Utd and Man City both offered, and rejected, the chance to sign Mesut Ozil a month ago, so don't expect a U-turn today," he has Tweeted. The Guardian's Daniel Taylor has also insisted United will not rival Arsenal for the playmaker's services. Spain-based journalist Graham Hunter, however, has told Talksport that Ozil wants to join the Reds and not the Gunners. 09:40 'Sky Sources' claim United have made contact with Mesut Ozil's representatives as the German's possible move to Arsenal stalls over personal terms. The Gunners appear to be determined to try and land a big-name signing and have reportedly agreed a fee with Real Madrid of €45million plus a further €5million in add-ons. 09:30 El Correo, the newspaper that broke news of United's bid for Ander Herrera, have been speaking to his team-mates and other sources about the potential deal. An un-named member of the board told the Bilbao publication: "We refer to what the president said - that he must express a desire to go, which he has not done, and deposit the €36million [buy-out] clause." The feeling among hiscolleagues was that the clause would not be met by United and losing the midfielder would be a real blow. 09:18 Local newspaper the Manchester Evening News reckons David Moyes is trying to make FOUR new signings ahead of the deadline tonight. Roma's Daniele De Rossi, Athletic Club midfielder Ander Herrera and Everton pair Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines are the quartet in question. 09:00 Belgian youngster David Henen, who was strongly linked with United during Sir Alex's reign, is on his way to Monaco. La Derniere Heure reports that the deal will be for a year's loan with an option for Anderlecht to receive €4million if the move is made permanent. 08:45 Cagliari defender Davide Astori, 26, is a possible target for David Moyes, according to TMW. The Italy international has been on Napoli, Roma and AC Milan's hit-list. 08:33 Belgian site Sudinfo reckons Maroaune Fellaini has been given permission to discuss terms with United but there has been no confirmation from either club regarding any deal. 08:25 Marca indicate that Mesut Ozil is staying at Real Madrid after all. Despite other Spanish sources claiming he was desperate to leave the Bernabeu, he has reportedly refused a €45million switch to Arsenal. United and PSG were also said to be keen admirers. 08:20 Several reports suggest Wigan will look to land Nick Powell on loan as a replacement for James McCarthy, if the midfielder heads to Everton. 08:08 De Gelderlander reports that Marnick Vermijl will be officially unveiled as a NEC Nijmegen player today after agreeing a one-year loan with the Dutch club. 07:58 The Daily Mirror claims Everton want a United player on loan in part-exchange for MarouaneFellaini. Roberto Martinez's ideal option is Wilfried Zaha, somebody he was keen to sign for Wigan, but Jesse Lingard could be an alternative capture. 07:54 One player perhaps spuriously linked with Old Trafford of late, Kaka, is primed to quit Real Madrid for his former club AC Milan, according to reports in Spain and Italy. 07:50 Mesut Ozil is said to be heading closer to the exit door at Real Madrid following Gareth Bale's arrival. Despite strong links with the Reds and PSG, Arsenal are now viewed as favourites to land the German. 07:48 There are conflicting reports from Spain regarding the future of Athletic Club midfielder Ander Herrera. Some sources expect a transfer to United to happen while others, including his coach Ernesto Valverde, are convinced he will remain in Bilbao. 07:40 The Daily Express believes Marouane Fellaini will hand in a transfer request in order to push through a late move to Old Trafford. Everton have already shown an interest in James McCarthy of Wigan, with many feeling he would be a suitable replacement. 07:30 So it's the final day of the summer transfer window and the speculation has gone wild in the past few days with David Moyes still hopeful of making his first major signing. Gareth Bale's world-record switch to Real Madrid could set the ball rolling and trigger other moves across Europe in a frenetic shopping spree. We'll have all updates relating to United throughout the day
