United, it has been reported, are now looking for a temporary replacement made contact with Atletico, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain over any available options.

A move for Bayern Munich’s Marcel Sabitzer is now being working on, according to reports in Germany.

“On deadline day it’s difficult,” Ten Hag told reporters earlier on Tuesday. “You can’t make policy on such bad injuries but we have players in the midfield department, good players.

“I think you can never fill that [gap] because every player has his own characteristics, another player will always fill in in a different way but it doesn’t mean you have to be less successful.”
