Tyrell Malacia will be hoping to secure a move away from Manchester United before the transfer window shuts.
There are just over two weeks left in the summer transfer window and clubs throughout Europe will be trying to get their business done in time.
Manchester United have welcomed four new players to Ruben Amorim’s squad. They include Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.
Amorim wants to add a midfielder and possibly a goalkeeper but that will depend heavily on whether United can sell some of their unwanted players.
Five players were told not to return for pre-season preparations this summer, including Marcus Rashford, who has since joined Barcelona on loan. The other players told to stay away by Amorim were Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia.
The unwanted quartet remain at United, but work is being done to find them all new clubs before the transfer window shuts.

Tyrell Malacia camp ‘surprised’ by Celtic links
Earlier this summer, Malacia was subject to interest from multiple clubs.
That interest has not materialised, although there is an option for the Netherlands international to move his career to Saudi Arabia.

Celtic were initially linked with a move for the left-back six months ago, but he joined PSV Eindhoven on loan before failing to impress in his familiar surroundings of the Eredivisie. PSV won the title, but Malacia had a minimal impact, making just 12 appearances for the Dutch champions.
The links to Celtic remained but Dutch journalist Joost Blaauwhof claims sources close to Malacia are “surprised” by reports of a transfer to Celtic.
Malacia still has an offer on the table from Saudi Arabia, but it is believed that he is weighing up his options before deciding on his future.

The left-back is currently working on his fitness at Carrington.
Celtic are already well stocked in the left-back department with Kieran Tierney and Hayato Inamura appearing to slot into that full-back role under Brendan Rodgers.
Players who played for Celtic and Manchester United
For two teams so successful and located in neighbouring countries, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that many players have represented both clubs.
The last player to play for both clubs was Saidy Janko, who spent one season at United and two at Celtic.
Perhaps the biggest name to represent both United and Celtic is Roy Keane, who controversially joined the Scottish giants after a falling out with Sir Alex Ferguson.
