Top 5 deadline day transfers that could happen

1. Fabio Coentrao to Manchester United

Coentrao has been heavily linked to Manchester United

The Red Devils almost secured Coentrao’s on loan from Real Madrid on deadline day last September but the deal fell through as Madrid could not complete the necessary paperwork in time. David Moyes is determined to look for a suitable replacement for long term left back Patrice Evra who is set to leave the club this summer and has identified Leighton Baines, Luke Shaw and Fabio Coentrao as suitable replacements.

With Leighton Baines inching closer to signing a new contract at Everton and Shaw set to stay at Southampton, Coentrao’s chances of being a Manchester United player are even higher. The Portugal international has fallen out of favor with Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and is now surplus requirements at the club. Manchester United will surely come-back in January to try and sign the player again as he is no longer a key player at the Bernabeu and is available to join the Old Trafford club this winter.
