It has been stated from the Manchester City side of the story that there is no chance of the deal happening however with just over 2 hours left until the deadline whether United can make the breakthrough is yet to be seen.
The Algerian international has been more of a rotational piece during his time at City but despite this has kept up the clear level of talent that earned him the £40m move in the first place.
