This suggests it hasn't.

Siqueira announced as done by Benfica TV, which pretty much puts the kibosh on any lingering hopes of Coentrão to United. Bed..

... apparently its got to "match" on their system...

"BBC Sport has learnt that Manchester United did submit their paperwork for their season-long loan deal for Fabio Coentrao before the 2300 BST deadline. But the move will only go ahead if both United and Real Madrid entered the correct details of the deal on Fifa's new transfer matching system. The deadline for that system closed at midnight."


Probably waiting for someone to try and reconcile it all in the morning...

but he's gone to Benfica at the last minute instead. Therefore Madrid won't be releasing Coentrao

Clubs can back out even if paperwork has been submitted.

We'll see.
