Manchester United and Wales Under-21 international forward Gabriele Biancheri will join Rotherham for the rest of the season.

Biancheri has scored eight goals in 21 appearances for United's Under-21 side so far this season but is yet to be called into the senior squad.

La Liga outfit Real Betis were keen to sign Biancheri on a permanent basis but Biancheri would prefer to play in the Football League.

The 19-year-old will join former United midfielder Dan Gore at Rotherham, who are battling relegation to League Two.

Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia will remain at the club for the rest of the season following Patrick Dorgu's injury.

Malacia has made one brief substitute appearance for United this season after initially being part of Ruben Amorim's 'bomb squad' in the summer.

There has been interest in the 26-year-old and it was anticipated he would leave this month if a suitable deal could be completed.

Club sources say there was no agreement on a transfer and now the view on Malacia has changed after Dorgu suffered a hamstring injury in the 3-2 win at Arsenal last week.

With Dorgu potentially out until April, Luke Shaw is United's only orthodox left-back, although Lisandro Martinez, Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot have all filled in at times.

United feel Malacia, who has been part of the matchday squad for the last 13 Premier League games but is set to leave when his contract expires in the summer, can offer a useful option.

Manchester United youngster James Scanlon is set to join Swindon Town on loan for the rest of the season.

Scanlon has been one of the standout players in United's under-21 side this season.

A full international with Gibraltar, Scanlon scored a hat-trick in a Premier League International Cup victory over Sporting last month.

The 19-year-old has been the subject of huge interest from across Europe, but United are keen for Scanlon to get some experience in the English Football League.

Swindon are pushing for promotion out of League Two and Scanlon believes their style of play under Ian Holloway will suit him.

Manchester United defender Tyler Fredricson is set to remain at Old Trafford for the remainder of the season.

Fredricson has been the subject of significant interest during the current transfer window but has picked up an injury that will prevent him making an immediate move.

League One promotion hopefuls Huddersfield Town and Scottish Premiership outfit Aberdeen were both really keen on the 20-year-old, who started two Premier League games at the end of last season.

Celtic have also inquired about Fredricson during this transfer window.

The Englishman was keen on a short-term move as he has only managed two minutes of action in the Premier League this season, despite being named in 10 matchday squads.

His involvement at senior level has restricted the opportunities to play for United's under-21 side, for whom he has started just three games.

Manchester United Under-21s skipper Jacob Devaney is set for a loan move to Scottish Premiership side St Mirren.

Devaney, 18, has been a key figure in United's under-21 set-up this season, featuring in every game, initially under Travis Binnion and then Tom Curtis following a coaching reshuffle at senior level.

He has excelled in central defence, at right-back and in central midfield as United have spent most of the season at the top of the Premier League 2 table.

However, he is yet to break into the first-team squad and is now set to get his chance in Scotland's top flight with St Mirren, who have not won in the league since 20 December.

We asked you what still needs to happen before the transfer window closes at 19:00 GMT on Monday.

Here are some of your comments:

Adam: All we need is a holding midfielder. Get Ruben Neves now for a short to medium-term fix, and then in the summer get Elliot Anderson or Carlos Baleba.

Steven: As we only have the league to play for, I don't think we need anything drastic. I would love to see Neves, even as a free agent in the summer. I'd say we need two midfielders and another attacking option.

Andy: Consolidate! We have two good players for each position and only one game per week. Keep the squad as it is and give the youngsters a run out if needed. Spend in the summer when we will have made Europe again and can attract a better calibre of player!

Lee: The brilliance of the three results cannot be a smokescreen for the past few seasons. A central midfielder is a must. A left winger is a must. Patrick Dorgu is injured and letting go Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford left us without a potent attack. I like Senne Lemmens in goal, but there are still question marks, and a solid centre-back is a must with Harry Maguire up in the air. If we sell Bruno Fernandes to the Saudi Pro League, then Cole Palmer has to be an option in the number 10 role.

Mark: Manchester United NEED to bring in left-back and defensive midfield cover. Whether they go for loans, or even someone like Neves on a short-term contract. There are so many good names out there to add depth. I know there aren't many games with no cup action, but one or two injuries and things will get tight.

Kevin: Let Joshua Zirkzee go as we have enough cover up front. If a value-for-money opportunity comes up I'd take it, but otherwise I would rather wait for the summer for the new manager so he can impose his stamp on the team.

Manchester United have been consistent throughout this transfer window, saying they would only be active if one of their main targets was available.

It is why they tried to sign Antoine Semenyo for £65 from Bournemouth, then told Ruben Amorim they were not willing to spend the funds on alternative signings to bolster his squad in January, triggering the conflict that ultimately led to the Portuguese' exit.

Michael Carrick said "never say never" on Friday, but with Joshua Zirkzee seemingly happy to fight for his place - the Netherlands forward was part of the celebratory pile-on of Benjamin Sesko after he scored the winner against Fulham on Sunday - and United viewing Casemiro as a key starter even though he will leave in the summer, the chances of significant business are not great.

Ethan Wheatley's long-agreed loan to League One Bradford City will be completed, while Gibraltar international James Scanlon - who scored a hat-trick on under-21 duty last month - is also set for a temporary move away from Old Trafford on deadline day.

Match of the Day pundits Danny Murphy and Troy Deeney discuss whether Manchester United will miss departing midfielder Casemiro's intelligence and calmness, after he inspired the Red Devils' to a 3-2 win over Fulham.

Today is the final chance of the season for your Premier League team to do transfer business.

The window closes at 19:00 GMT, meaning teams - and fans - can avoid the usual late-night transfer scramble.

It has already been a busy window - for some teams anyway - but whether it turns out to be a day of transfer action or a pretty quiet one for your club, you will be able to keep across it all on BBC Sport.

There are some parts of football games that are best to watch to work out what actually happened.

This dramatic, switchback Premier League thriller is worth watching from the 85th minute onwards.

At that point, Manchester United and their fans thought they had won.

Casemiro had put the hosts in front after a bizarre period of play. The home side were initially awarded a penalty by referee John Brooks for a Jorge Cuenca foul on Matheus Cunha. However, VAR James Bell overturned it as the final contact was outside the area. Bruno Fernandes then floated the free-kick to the far post and Casemiro headed home.

Casemiro then turned provider 11 minutes after half-time as he threaded a pass through the Fulham defence to Cunha, who smashed home United's second.

But the consequences of the initial VAR check – and the one that ruled out Cuenca's second-half effort, which took so long it drew chants against the system from both sets of supporters and an irritated reaction from Cottagers boss Marco Silva - was yet to be fully felt.

Raul Jimenez delayed and delayed his penalty after he had been upended by Harry Maguire but eventually sent it right into the roof of the net.

Nine minutes injury time was shown, which meant Carrick and his players knew there was still time to respond as Fulham celebrated Kevin's brutal strike.

So much has been mentioned recently about supposed "United DNA". It is a difficult concept to define but, in historical terms, scoring very late goals must be part of it.

And, with an old boy in the dugout, so an old-style finish came to pass.

Benjamin Sesko kept his cool as he controlled Fernandes' cross and turned in the area before taking advantage of Fulham's failure to get to him quickly enough.

We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Manchester United and Fulham.

Here are some of your comments:

Man Utd fans

Ian: Another United win. Well done Carrick, and the team, but it seems they were getting weary towards the end, allowing Fulham back into it. It's unbelievable really - looking back on these three matches. We've not seen this style of football for many a year. The team looks happy together, they play together and win together.

Graeme: Another spirited performance and it would be nice to win a game next week without the stress. However no one can deny that Carrick has brought back the kind of performances we experienced under Sir Alex. Give him the job but not until the end of the season. I don't see anyone doing a better job.

D: Incredible that the decision makers at Man U stuck with Amorim for so long - and allowed him to stick with his rigid beliefs about his system. All of them are out of their depth.

Mark: A different mentality from a month ago. Attacking intent when suffering a set back. Not making defensive substitutions when one up and handing back the initiative. Positive result against a tough Fulham team

Fulham fans

Jez: Proud of the boys! Gritty and we never gave up. We can compete against the big clubs.

William: They didn't deserve to lose that. I personally thought Fulham were the better side.

Douglas: So many absurd VAR delays are crushing football taking away the flow of the game, the excitement of its non stop nature and somehow introducing a weird bias that favors the top 6. Why have a machine at all when it's calibrated to plus or minus 5 centimeters leaving the arbiters wiggle room? Most of all the waiting introduces a pensive tension that has no connection to sport. At least introduce a 2 minute time limit… Fulham can count themselves unlucky…again just like the Wirst "goal" against Liverpool.

David: Outstanding Fulham, robbed by the VAR.

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick, speaking to BBC Sport: "There's a lot that went on today in the game. I was well aware of what a good team Fulham are going into the game. I was getting questions thrown at me about teams sitting back here, but I knew it was never going to be like that today. They are a good team, I knew we were going to have to answer a lot of questions and we did that for a lot of it. The boys put in a big effort and they were really desperate to win the game.

"For Ben [Sesko] to come on and have a moment like that is huge. It was nice for him to get his moment in front of the Stretford End. There's not a better place to score a winner like that.

"It's a big moment for everyone. You could tell that in the way everyone celebrated - from the staff to the supporters. It was one of those special ones."

On missing the chance to go 3-0 up: "That's life as a striker, not that I know much about it. You have to be in there to take the chances and sometimes you miss the chances, but we have done a lot of good work in the past few weeks. The coaches have done a lot with Ben [Sesko] and having the character to come on, miss one and score one shows he kept calm. It was a fantastic finish, one that mattered even more and had even bigger emotion to it, so he will remember that for some time."

On whether picking up points in less daunting games is important: "This was a big game for us. They are a good team and they are close behind us in the league. I think this 'big game' thing is all part of the narrative. Every game is a big game and we have to treat it like that. Next week we move on, but today was a tough one. It was even tougher because everyone expected going into the game it would be different. But we didn't. We got our players mentally and physically right - and we got there in the end."

Hear more from Carrick on BBC Sounds

United striker Benjamin Sesko, speaking to Sky Sports after scoring the winning goal: "That was unbelievable. Scoring at home and scoring the winner is unbelievable. I've been dreaming about that. We all know, as a team, how important these results are. We are on a really great run right now and we are just hoping that we can continue to work hard like that to win games. I'm really happy that I could help the team out. We can continue our streak now."

On Carrick's message to the team about playing with freedom and enjoying playing for Manchester United: "It's true he has said these things many times to the team. That's exactly what we are doing. But it's not just that, you can see how much we work hard for each other without the ball and that also contributes to good results in the end. The work-rate is definitely different. Everyone is on point and covering their spaces. In the end, that's what counts."

On Casemiro: "He is an unbelievable player - a legend. It is nice to play with him and it is also nice to listen to his advice. His work-rate is unbelievable and he gives all his teams a boost. We are grateful to have him with us."

Did you know?

• Carrick is the third Manchester United manager to win four or more of his first five league games in charge (including his first spell in 2021), after Sir Matt Busby in 1946 and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2019.

• United have won all seven Premier League games in which they have had less than 45% possession this season (42.4% against Fulham on Sunday). By contrast, they have won just four of 17 league games when having 45% or more possession in 2025-26 (D8 L5).

Police estimate between 500 and 600 fans took part in the planned pre-match demonstration against Manchester United's ownership.

This was a long way below the figure the 1958 United fans group said it expected to be present.

It was colourful and noisy, though, and it was clear from chants inside the stadium, which are repeated every time United play, many have no affection for either the Glazer family or Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who become a minority shareholder in 2024 and is effectively responsible for running the club.

The expense involved in hiring Dan Ashworth as technical director and then getting rid of him after five months, the decision to keep and then sack Erik ten Hag, and then hire and sack Ruben Amorim is proof Ratcliffe has not got everything right.

However, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko are both part of a recruitment campaign over the past 12 months that is much improved on what has gone before.

Nevertheless, fan sentiment runs deep.

"Does he intend on buying the Glazers out? I don't think so. I don't think the money's there to do it" said 1958 Group spokesman Steve Crompton.

"So, is this just going to be a match made in heaven as far as he's concerned?

"They're pushing ahead with the vanity project of this new stadium, the ticket prices are going up and the rules around them are becoming more and more stringent. The traditional fans are just getting priced out.

"Everything is just a mess."

Get in touch with your views here

Everything we know about Manchester United in recent months would usually make this smell of an away win for Fulham - but not this time.

It feels like the weight of the world is off the United players' shoulders with Michael Carrick in charge, and he is getting the best out of them by playing them in positions that suit them.

Bruno Fernandes is not just getting on the ball more, he is doing it in the areas where he wants to be.

Fulham always have a goal in them and Harry Wilson is having an incredible season, but I can't really back against United at the moment. They will find a way to win this one, too.
