Josh King to Manchester United: Solskjaer says business is unlikely

MANCHESTER -- Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he is not expecting any more transfer business on deadline day.

United have splashed out to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes and have seen a bid rejected for Bournemouth striker Josh King.

Bournemouth boss Howe refused to rule out the possibility that King could leave on deadline day but Solskjaer was not optimistic at a news conference on Friday morning.

"I don't think we'll do any more business," Solskjaer said. "January has always been difficult [to do business]. I'm happy with the ones I've got here. Bruno coming is the big thing."

Solskjaer wants to sign a striker in the final hours of the transfer window after injury to Marcus Rashford.

And despite the United manager's pessimism over any more deals, Bournemouth manager Howe could not confirm whether King would stay at the club during Friday's news conference.

"I don't want to talk too much about Josh because there's still a day to go," Howe said.

"Let's wait and see. He's a massive part of our team

"I understand Josh's position and what Manchester United means to him.

"If I see my phone ringing today and it's Neill Blake [chief executive] calling, I'd be worried."
