Man Utd's strangest Deadline Day signing is now playing non-league football with Bury
Plenty of eyebrows were raised when Manchester United swooped to sign a player who had been featuring in League Two in the dying embers of the 2015 winter transfer window
There'll be no Transfer Deadline Day craziness for Bury's Andy Kellett like there was in January 2015 - when he joined Manchester United.
He was the subject of one of the strangest moves in football history when the Red Devils swooped to sign him on loan for the second half of that season from Bolton Wanderers.
Kellett had spent the prior months at League Two side Plymouth Argyle and was expecting to return to the south coast - getting the shock of a lifetime when manager Neil Lennon informed him of United's interest.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Sport last year, the 29-year-old recalled: "I went to the training ground on Deadline Day, quite late on actually and the manager said there’s an option for you to go to Man Utd on loan if you want.

"So that’s how it came about. I was going down to the training ground to sign for Plymouth and I ended up coming away signing for Man Utd.
"At first I was quite shocked by it. But then further on in the night I got quite emotional because it was quite a big thing. I can’t really remember my initial reaction, I just think I was in a bit of shock really."
Kellett, then aged 21, was integrated into the Red Devils' youth side, but would often be called up to first-team training - and he was thrown straight into the deep end.

"I remember my first training session. I got nutmegged by Angel Di Maria," he revealed. "Obviously it was a bit of a thing because it was my first day.
"Everyone gave me a bit of banter, and, to be fair, I’m glad it happened because it made me relax. That stands out!"
While the six months were an experience he never could've dreamt of, Kellett did have to sacrifice a potential promotion push with Plymouth.
"It was a once in a lifetime opportunity," he continued. "The only question I ask myself is, at the time Plymouth were in the play-offs and they got to a play-off final that season.
"Could I have gone down that route, maybe? If we’d had gone up that year, we would have been League One."
He went on to enjoy spells at Wigan and Notts County before dropping down to non-league football, and is now firmly settled at Bury having joined them back in June.
