Only one of the top six made a notable signing – and they spent €206m – in a frustrating window for several managers.

A €60m move for Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez took Manchester City's transfer window spending to nearly €200m.

The club points to tight financial constraints and a disciplined approach that they hope will give them greater options to make summer signings.

Spurs have agreed to sign Bayern Munich forward Matthys Tel on loan. Arsenal and Manchester United  were also interested in the player.

Crystal Palace recorded a 2-0 win at Old Trafford.

Villa, Manchester United and West Ham could also be looking at forwards on Monday.

The 27-year-old forward fell out of favour at his boyhood club.

Tel, who rejected a permanent move to Tottenham after they had agreed a £50m fee with Bayern last week, has expressed his desire to leave in this transfer window.

United fell to a seventh defeat in 13 league games at Old Trafford this season against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Spurs were on a run of four successive league losses.

Ruben Amorim started without a recognised striker at Old Trafford.

The 27-year-old forward’s future has dominated headlines throughout the transfer window having admitted he was “ready for a new challenge” after being dropped for the Manchester derby.

The 20-year-old has signed a five-year deal.

Jhon Duran left the club in midweek. 

It all amounted to more trouble for under-pressure Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, whose 17th-placed side have lost eight of their last nine league matches since he was appointed on December 1.

Rashford has not played for United since a 2-1 Europa League victory at Viktoria Plzen on December 12.

“I am incredibly proud to join Manchester United,” the England Under-19s international said.

Barcelona need to offload up to two players to bring in Rashford and Villa also want the Manchester United forward on loan after selling Jhon Durán to the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.
