Aston Villa suffered a 3-0 drubbing by Crystal Palace in the Premier League, which means Unai Emery's side is 19th heading into the international break.
Their squad needs improving on deadline day, and they have been linked with former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof.
A current United player could also be on his way to Villa Park. Fabrizio Romano posted on X: "Negotiations between Aston Villa and Man United continue on #DeadlineDay for Jadon Sancho."
It could be that Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is heading the other way to Old Trafford after being left out of Emery's squad to face Palace.
Jadon Sancho must make this move to Aston Villa
Marcus Rashford benefited greatly from a loan to Aston Villa from United last season. He has since been loaned out to Barcelona.

Sancho showed great promise in his early career at Borussia Dortmund, but his progress has stalled at Old Trafford.
This has been the case for many players, including Rashford and Antony. However, these players have shone since taking loan moves.
Sancho has already turned down a transfer to AS Roma this window, but must take this move to Villa on deadline day.
If he does not, then his only options of playing this season, would be by moving to the Saudi Pro League or Turkish Super Lig.
