During the last hours of the transfer window, a somewhat unexpected deal could have taken place.
Arsenal received a call from Manchester United inquiring whether they could borrow defender Mathieu Debuchy until the end of the season.
Arsenal's coach Arsene Wenger was informed about the potential negotiations but decisively said "no."
The Frenchman did not want to strengthen one of their main competitors in the Premier League.
It was finally announced that Debuchy will return to his homeland and defend Bordeaux's honor until the end of the season.
