Premier League clubs have been turning from fat cats to loan sharks on transfer deadline day as a nervous market, and the growing influence of profit and sustainability rules, made last minute deals even more difficult to pull off – even for the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United who wanted to do business.
United, desperate for new blood as they sit 13th in the table, were unable to find a permanent deal for Marcus Rashford to raise funds, so instead sent him to Aston Villa until the end of the season.
