In their newspaper today, Marca have a double page spread of possible last minute deals. There are some there which will happen, but their Manchester United claims seem very unlikely indeed.
Marca reckon that Matteo Darmian and Bastian Schweinsteiger are, or were, possible transfers Manchester United could do on deadline.
Darmian is valued at €15m, with clubs in Italy said to be interested. That’s around what Manchester United paid the player a year ago, and whilst he hasn’t been a huge success, his market value is surely higher than such a figure.
That makes it stranger they’ve valued Schweinsteiger at €10m. If the German midfielder was to leave Manchester United before the window closes then it would, almost certainly, be on loan.
Most of the other transfers Marca mentioned were quite plausible, and some have already happened, perhaps they just wanted to include Manchester United so had to force things.
