Grace Clinton, a 22-year-old England midfielder at Manchester United, is close to a move to Manchester City ahead of the Thursday transfer deadline. Clinton has attracted interest after entering the final year of her contract without an agreed renewal. Manchester City and United are negotiating a deal to be completed by 23:00 BST, while England midfielder Jess Park, 23, was due for a medical at Carrington. United view Park as a high-quality replacement and would rather sell Clinton now to secure a fee than risk losing her on a free transfer next year. Previous United exits after contract expiry include Alessia Russo and Mary Earps.

The 22-year-old midfielder has attracted interest from several clubs this summer with just a year remaining on her contract and no renewal agreed. Local rivals City are in talks to reach a deal with United before 23:00 BST on Thursday, while England midfielder Jess Park is set to move the other way.
Park, 23, who was also part of England's Euro 2025-winning squad, was set for a medical at Carrington on Wednesday evening. United see Park as a high-quality addition and while the deals are separate, she is considered a strong replacement for Clinton. United were keen to keep Clinton, but they would rather cash in on the England international and avoid losing her for free next year.
