Rochdale have signed Wycombe Wanderers striker D'Mani Mellor and Burnley left-back Owen Dodgson on loan.
Both players are products of Manchester United's academy system, and have joined until the end of the season.
Mellor, 22, joined the Chairboys in the summer and has scored once in 12 games for Gareth Ainsworth's side.
Dodgson is 19 and was in the Clarets' first-team squad at the end of last season before signing a three-year deal in the summer.
"Owen is a good player who is highly thought of at his parent club," Rochdale manager Jim Bentley told the club's website.
"We've watched him numerous times this season and he has good qualities that we are looking for."
Bentley was also enthusiastic about Mellor's signing. "He's a great athlete who works extremely hard and has loads of potential," he said.
