Vote: Was your team the biggest winner on transfer deadline day?
Manchester United signed Anthony Martial for an initial £36m fee on Tuesday
NOW the dust has settled on transfer deadline day, it's time to look back on the big winners and losers in the Premier League.

Manchester United produced the biggest shock on Tuesday when they landed Monaco striker Anthony Martial in an initial £36million deal.

The 19-year-old signed for the club yesterday afternoon - but bosses at Old Trafford ran out of time to complete David De Gea's sale to Real Madrid.
Was De Gea's break down a blessing in disguise? Or should United have cut their losses and got rid of the Spain international, which would have brought Real stopper Keylor Navas to the Premier League?

While United were furiously doing business, Chelsea were also making deals happen - but they were hardly marquee.
In came Papy Djilobodji and Michael Hector for a combined £6.75m - although the latter will remain at Reading on loan for the season.
The two defenders are unlikely to start regularly at Stamford Bridge but Jose Mourinho needed back-up after missing out on Everton defender John Stones.

Liverpool also had a quiet day, having done most of their business before the season kicked off.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has brought in a mix of expensive signings - such as Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino - and the odd bargain - James Milner and Danny Ings being two notable recruits.
Their lack of activity was in complete contrast to West Ham, who appeared set on acquiring a whole new first team before the 6pm deadline passed.
The Hammers recruited Nottingham Forest winger Michail Antonio and Hull striker Nikica Jelavic on permanent deals, while Barcelona midfielder Alex Song and Chelsea winger Victor Moses came in on loan.
Were these shrewd moves from manager Slaven Bilic or will he regret triggering a major overhaul at the last minute?
