For the first time since 2019, nobody passed through the January window at Manchester United before it closed.
Amad arrived last January after Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo had touched down on the Manchester Airport runway in 2020. In 2019, United were under the caretaker management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, won all but one of their matches in the new year and Solskjaer accepted the Manager of the Month award.
At his introductory press conference in December, Ralf Rangnick struck a reluctant tone when pressed on recruitment. January, he cautioned, was not an ideal time for 'sustainable' additions. For every Fernandes there is an Alexis Sanchez.
United were badly burnt by the opportunistic move for Sanchez in 2018. That immediately quashed any possibility of them taking a punt on the unloved Ousmane Dembele, despite mouthpieces doing Barcelona's bidding and linking him to all and sundry. Dembele, like Sanchez, is into the last six months of his contract.
Officials at Paris Saint-Germain were mystified to awaken on deadline day to news they had agreed terms with Dembele. They hadn't. United briefed that a tweet from a suspect account on Sunday that claimed they had bid for Dembele was inaccurate. Where United and Dembele were concerned, someone at the club agreed it was the 'usual b------s'.
Exotic-sounding midfielders were baselessly linked with United to smoke out a genuinely interested club (Juventus signed Denis Zakaria) or to secure a big pay-day (Boubacar Kamara is out of contract in the summer). Some representatives and clubs' behaviour in hawking clients across Europe is so tawdry they seized on the likelihood of a French-speaking midfielder of African descent (Paul Pogba) leaving United by incessantly linking
