Joshua Zirkzee's proposed loan from Manchester United to Fiorentina is off.

Sources in Italy are telling me Fiorentina are now hoping to sign Beto from Everton instead.

It does seem as though Juventus might come in for the forward, although that is dependent on Canada striker Jonathan David completing a move to Atletico Madrid.

Zirkzee has been an unused substitute for both Manchester United games so far and does appear to be the most likely senior player to leave before the transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on Tuesday.

That might be key in whether United make additions to Michael Carrick's squad.

Carrick didn't totally rule it out after Sunday's 5-2 victory over Ipswich at Old Trafford.

"It's always difficult to say, to be honest, when there's so little time left, but we're always open if there's something else to be able to add," he said.

"I wouldn't shut that down but, as it stands, we'll have to wait and see."

What do Man Utd still need to do - in terms of incomings and outgoings - before the window shuts? Have your say
