Manchester United are in talks with Bayern Munich over a loan deal for Austria midfielder Marcel Sabitzer.
The 28-year-old is available during the current transfer window and following news of Christian Eriksen's long-term injury and a short-term problem for Scott McTominay, United are exploring the prospect of a loan move.
At Tuesday's media conference United manager Erik ten Hag said it was "difficult" to complete any deals on deadline day.
However, Ten Hag is well known at Bayern Munich because of his spell as second-team coach there, and that relationship could help speed up the process.
