Steve Bruce has wished DeAndre Yedlin the best of luck for the future after agreeing to sell him to Galatasaray - but says that Matt Ritchie's future is "up in the air" on deadline day.
United will offload Yedlin to the Turkish club providing he passes a medical and Bruce hopes to bring in new faces later today.
Yedlin is in Istanbul after arriving last night to finalise a deal to the 22-times Turkish champions.
Bruce said: "Quite simply we had three right-backs at the club, DeAndre is suited to playing wing-back and it's quite clear we are trying to play with a back four.
"He's a great lad and I wish him the best of luck. We are trying to move one out to bring some in."
When asked on incoming business, Bruce added: "We hope that we can do one or two things.
"Like everybody else it has been a difficult market."
Ritchie was a Bournemouth target last week and it remains to be seen whether it can be resurrected today.
Bruce said: "It's up in the air. He's been a good servant.
"He's found himself frustrated after not being in the team."
