    Aaron Ramsey could be leaving Burnley and heading to Leicester City on loan before the window shuts at 19:00 BST.

    The 22-year-old has played one game for the Clarets this season, scoring in the Carabao Cup second round win over Derby.

    Leicester sources have confirmed to BBC Sport there is interest in signing the former Aston Villa player, while Burnley sources suggest a deal is close.

    Ramsey's departure would come after the Turf Moor club agreed a deal to sign midfielder Florentino Luis from Benfica.

    Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis is due to have a medical at Burnley today before completing what could become a club record purchase.

    The 26-year-old will join initially on loan for a £1.73m fee, but there is a conditional obligation to buy for £20.8m should the move be made permanent.

    Manager Scott Parker has secured a major coup, with Luis expected to be the Clarets' last incoming transfer of the summer.

    Burnley are continuing to work on outgoings before Monday's 19:00 BST deadline.

    We asked for your views on what is still needed by Burnley on transfer deadline day.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Jack: A striker and midfielder. Armando Broja is never fit - a typicaly bad purchase by us.

    Peter: We probably need two extra players. A defensive midfielder to stop the many runs that have been easily made right through our midfield. Secondly, a centre-back with presence who can both help and replace Maxime Esteve if he is injured.

    Graham: Some interesting and, potentially, significant signings by Burnley, who now have an excessive squad, and a need to reduce. Too early to say how the new arrivals will fare as many, like Broja, have had very limited game time. Despite six goals in the past three outings, Burnley need to score more. Broja may be able to deliver. However, strengthening the attack should be a priority, along with the midfield. My two preferences in these areas have long been Josh Sargent (who should have the advantage of appealing to a niche American market and the club owners) and Gustavo Hamer.

    We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Manchester United and Burnley

    Here are some of your comments:

    Man Utd fans

    Anthony: Nothing has really changed as we are still the same situation in the sense chances are not taken and yet another goalkeeping mistake. Something has to give.

    Andrew: United were very lucky to win. Missed opportunities to score goals and defensive errors that cost goals. Nothing has changed over the years. There have been some glimpses of quality football but, overall, nothing has changed. After being a fan for 55 years, I once could not wait to watch Manchester United play a game. Now, with the exception of a few games over the past years, I watch and cringe at the football that is being played. Manchester United have lost their way and are getting it wrong year after year. I'm starting to believe that they will never find their way back to consistently playing quality football.

    Paul: United played some good football, particularly in the first half, but the game should have been won by half-time. Then we saw, once again, the need for a quality keeper!

    Danyal: Finally a win that we can celebrate. It should have been easier than it actually was, but that's United's style nowadays. Sad to see Matheus Cunha get injured as he is definitely what makes the team click. We need to find that consistency now with the Manchester derby coming up. Hopefully after the international break we can continue. Ruben Amorim still needs time - let's back him!

    Burnley fans

    Bruce: Better second-half performance, but gutted about the penalty decision. Yes, it was a foul, but it was outside the penalty box. If you do a mistimed sliding tackle outside of the box but slide into the box, it does not mean it's a penalty. It's a foul and the shirt pull should have been a free-kick on the edge of the box.

    Graham: Dogged! Burnley fielded a scratch team with very little game time among most of the players - and it showed. A low-key performance demonstrating little urgency, but showing some nice touches leading to both goals. A decent, solid performance overall.

    Andy: The lads played well, especially in the second half, but VAR is a disgrace! It's ruining the game. The ref had a good game but, unfortunately, VAR ruined all of that! Is there any point in having a referee any more?

    Ian: Took an injury time penalty to beat us. Up the Clarets!
