Man United have reportedly agreed to get one of their highest-paid flops off their wage bill in a loan deal - despite the transfer window having closed a week ago.

Business closed for the major European leagues on February 3. However, a number of other leagues remain open for business and that has allowed Man United to work towards reducing costs.

United went about their business cautiously in the January transfer window, as they feel the strain of tight financial constraints and PSR limits.

Despite the club sitting in 13th place in the Premier League and crying out for a proven striker, they signed only Patrick Dorgu, Ayden Heaven, and Diego Leon (pre-contract) - talented, young players bought for the long term without high fees.
