Andy Kellett joins on loan and three other bizarre Manchester United deadline day deals

Transfer deadline day comes around twice a year, every year. And yet, football clubs, despite having entire summers and all of January to get their deals done, often leave things late - and Manchester United are no different.

In the case of the summer transfer window, teams have months to agree and finalise deals for players, but, more often than not, clubs still end up scrambling around for players.

As well as the signings, deadline day leads to player tantrums, dramatic buyouts and supporter meltdowns. From players falling asleep in the airport to *dodgy* fax machines - it simply never disappoints.

Andy Kellett joins United on loan

It is fair to say that nobody was expecting any major moves at Old Trafford as the minutes ticked by on deadline day in 2015.

With that in mind, then, it came as quite a shock when Bolton Wanderers man Andy Kellett signed for United on loan. The midfielder, who was a product of the Bolton academy and had spent time on loan at Plymouth, made the short trip to Manchester as his move was confirmed.

According to then Bolton manager Neil Lennon, Kellett believed that Lennon was "winding him up" when he mentioned United's interest in him.

Understandably, supporters were confused by the transfer, however, it quickly transpired that he had moved to Old Trafford to play for the Under-21s team as they were short on numbers, with Bolton having taken Reds youngster Saidy Janko on loan for the rest of the season.

Kellett went on to make nine appearances for the United youth team and helped them win the U21 Premier
