ERIK TEN HAG has trimmed his Manchester United squad by ditching three youngsters on deadline day.
The Dutch manager has welcomed three stars to Old Trafford today, with goalkeeper Altay Bayindir joining from Fenerbahce for £4million.

He was soon followed by Tottenham left-back Sergio Reguilon on a season-long loan deal.
And Ten Hag made it a hat-trick of signings as he pounced for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat in an initial loan move worth up to £30m next summer.
However, just as many players are leaving United on deadline day to counteract the incomings.
Teen defender Marc Jurado has completed a shock permanent transfer to Espanyol.
The 19-year-old has left United three years after joining from Barcelona for a nominal fee plus sell-on clause.
Jurado failed to make a single senior appearance for the Red Devils despite being tipped for the top in 2020.
And he will be hoping for better fortunes after returning to Spain today.
The next player to leave United is another Spanish defender, Alvaro Fernandez.

But the 20-year-old’s move to Granada will only be a loan deal.
Fernandez was deemed surplus to requirements for the season following the arrival of compatriot Reguilon.
But he could get the chance to challenge next year once he gets more minutes under his belt following last season’s loan in the Championship with Preston.
The final youngster heading out of the door on deadline day is Charlie McNeil.
The 19-year-old striker made his Red Devils debut against Real Sociedad a year ago.
And he will spend the upcoming campaign with League One club Stevenage, having spent time at League two outfit Newport County last term.
