Manchester United must-see players leave this month in order to strengthen the squad for Ruben Amorim.

Ever since taking charge in November, the new head coach has been making big decisions, with Ineos keen to back him. A clear-out could ensue this year with even Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo not safe.

Casemiro is one big name expected to leave the club this month. Recent reports have suggested Casemiro is very close to a Saudi Arabia switch which could bag him £650,000-a-week.

This exit would also clear £350,000-a-week from the wage bill at Old Trafford.

Other big departures could include Marcus Rashford who is now wanted by Barcelona. However, before Rashford’s dream move became available he was likely disappointed with interest from West Ham and a less-than-elite Serie A side.

Como now wants Tyrell Malacia

Earlier this week, eyebrows were raised when Rashford was linked with Como.

However, this link was short-lived as it was quickly reported Rashford was not considering a move to Como – hardly a surprise.

But now Como are after another United player – who also happens to be Rashford’s close friend – Tyrell Malacia.

According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Como are now looking into signing the Dutch left-back.

Como are described as being unleashed on the transfer market with Malacia as their latest ambition.

It is explained that Malacia has numerous suitors. Juventus are also keen to sign Malacia according to reports. While Leicester City have also enquired.

It is not disclosed whether Como would want to loan Malacia or buy him outright, but we imagine United would accept either.

Raphael Varane would be doing Manchester United a favour

Raphael Varane is a board member at Como and could be the driving force behind this clear pursuit of United players.

However, unlike with Rashford, Malacia is an attainable target for the Serie A club.

Malacia missed almost 19 months of action, right up until last month and former professionals have worried he would struggle. Well in his opening games, he has looked off the pace.

Malacia was hooked at half-time against Bournemouth and has not been since.

So Varane would be doing United a favour by taking him and opening space for a new left wing-back to arrive.
