Man Utd in advanced talks over fourth deadline day transfer but face work permit issue

Manchester United are in advanced talks to close a deal for Atalanta’s Amad Traore after his move to Parma collapsed, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Red Devils are set for a manic end to the transfer window as they look to scramble several deals over the line.

Edinson Cavani is currently in Manchester to complete his move to Old Trafford following his release from Paris Saint-Germain earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Alex Telles is set to sign a five-year deal after United reached an agreement with Porto last night.

Cavani may not be the only Uruguayan arriving at the club though and United are believed to be closing in on Penarol wonderkid Facundo Pellistri.

Now, the club are working on a surprise fourth deal in the form of 18-year-old Traore.

If the deal is not completed today, Traore could arrive in January.

Atalanta captain Papu Gomez believes the youngster is going right to the very top.

He said on the teenager: “He’s a future star, trust me. During our trainings he seems like Messi! You can’t stop him”.”

United clearly need several new faces after yesterday’s 6-1 thrashing against Tottenham.
