MANCHESTER UNITED have completed transfers for two new stars despite the transfer window being closed, reports suggest.
The Red Devils have placed great emphasis on recruiting the best talent for their youth teams in recent seasons.

This has led to a steady stream of stars who have come through the academy to star in the first team, including the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Toby Collyer in recent seasons.
But United have now completed deals for teenager starlets James Overy and Samuel Lusale, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Deals for the pair were delayed as they waited for FA approval, and they will now link up with the Man Utd Under-18s this season.
Meanwhile, a deal for ex-Arsenal wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin is also in the works.
Overy, born in 2007, is an attacking right-back who began his career with A-League side Perth Glory.
He started attracting interest from the likes of West Ham aged just 15 before departing and relocating to the south of England last year.
Described as a "wonderfully polite and humble young man" by former coach Marc Revell in the Mid Devon Advertiser, Overy continued to impress with Newton Abbot Spurs before United came calling.
He is eligible to play for both England and Australia at international level.
SunSport revealed in July how the Premier League and Fifa were both looking at his transfer.
In the case of Lusale, he is a winger or attacking midfielder who has already represented Slovakia at Under-17 and Under-18 international level.
He was born in Guildford in 2007, and has finally been ratified to join United after turning 17 earlier this month.
Once the FA sign off on 16-year-old Obi-Martin joining the Red Devils, it will complete a hat-trick of highly-rated signings for the club's youth team.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the signing of Obi-Martin, with training videos showing his remarkable finishing skills and teasing a bright career ahead.
He also scored 10 goals in a single match for the Gunners against Liverpool Under-16s last season.
United's Under-18 side won an impressive treble last season, having lost just twice in the northern U18 division, before beating southern victors Chelsea to be crowned English champions.
Another teen acquisition this summer, Sekou Kone, has been included in Man Utd's Premier League squad list for the upcoming season following the end of the transfer window.
Under-21 goalkeeper Dermot Mee was also registered as a fourth-choice goalkeeper as one of the 22 stars registered in the over 21 bracket of the squad registration.
The quality from the academy has been laid bare this week after Mainoo and Garnacho were nominated for the Kopa Trophy and ex-United star Angel Gomes made his England debut.
Erik ten Hag's senior team won 3-0 at Southampton in today's early kick-off, with goals from Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.
They were in desperate need of a win following back-to-back defeats against Brighton and Liverpool before the international break.
Christian Eriksen was a summer target for clubs in EuropeEriksen played a significant role in his debut season at Old Trafford, which was curtailed by injury. But he became more of a back-up in 2023/24 following the emergence of Kobbie Mainoo.
