The fact that United's twitter account or website hasn't confirmed the Fellaini deal suggests we might be waiting to see if something else (Coentrao) happens so they can announce at the same time.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Aye, Five live are saying the deal is off.
Jesus feck... I thought it would all be mercifully over at 11pm, and yet, it drags on.
Most likely it's a loan move with a view of a permanent one, it's nothing like us loaning youngsters to get experience elsewhere.
Loan deadline is at midnight apparently. Five Live were saying that the Coentrao deal relied on Madrid bringing in a replacement. They didn't, thus its off.
The Mirror says its done........
Manchester United secured Real Madrid left-back Fabio Coentrao on a season-long loan at the 11th hour last night - easing the pain of their failed bid for Leighton Baines.
United boss David Moyes pulled off a major coup by capturing Portugal international Coentrao, who has been frozen out at Real Madrid after losing his place to Marcelo last season.

Yeah, looks like it's off.
To be fair, this one looks like it's off due to Real Madrid not doing their shit in time, and not our own incompetance. So that's a bonus... of sorts.
If this is true, I hope this deal collapses.
Could still be on, but please. You enquired and went for him at the nth moment.
I'd love to have him here but if it doesn't happen then fine, more chances for fabio.
All rumours about it being off at the moment. Nothing concrete. Ballague said Herrera was done earlier so you know..
Don't trust anything Ballague says ever again.
No, the deal hinged on Madrid making a signing. If they didn't do it, we didn't get him. Simple really.
I have never known somebody who gets it so wrong, so often.
If I'm reading this right, Madrid are trying to back out and we may be looking to force it through. Let's hope there's an option to buy or there'll be no difficult second season.
Fabio Coentrão's wife has just tweeted 'HALA MADRID'. It's over.
This could look extremely bad for the Mirror tomorrow if we don't actually pull this off.
Who do we feckin believe?!?
This is fecking with my mind.
It's on apparently.
I can't imagine they'll give one shiny shit.
Transfer deadline day pretty much gives journo's/papers a free pass to get as much shit as they want wrong.
Nobody knows anything.
It's like they're deliberately trying to make our muppet minds go insane. fecked up.Transfers #ThingsthatAngerandConfuseManUtd
I refreshed the page. There was a tweet saying he hasn't signed, one saying he has, another saying that Madrid replaced him already and another saying his wife saying he was staying in Madrid. I have a job interview in the morning but I can't leave!
Woodward's probably running all of these twitter accounts.
Can't it just be over?! My god... let it be over.
(If you can imagine me on my knees with clenched fists... this well help the image I'm trying to build)

.I am confident of this deal from what I am hearing.
I like him, good player. But, did we really need a left back?
Ok this is getting stranger by the minute:
