Man Utd given update on transfer target, it’s not ideal after what’s just happened with one of their own players

Manchester United are expected to be one of the Premier League’s busiest clubs between now and the end of the January transfer window.

The Red Devils haven’t always been known for their mid-season business but the United owners are set to conclude several deals this year.

Almost all the United first team are available for transfer. Marcus Rashford wants to join Barcelona while Alejandro Garnacho is wanted by Chelsea and Napoli with Antony also attracting interest from Real Betis.

It isn’t just attackers Ruben Amorim looks like losing though.

Tyrell Malacia closing in on loan move

Like many of his teammates, Tyrell Malacia also faces an uncertain future at United.

The left-back was one of Erik ten Hag’s signings but he doesn’t look like having much of a future under the current United manager.

After losing his place to Diogo Dalot, who isn’t even a natural left-back, Malacia knows he has to move on to get regular playing time.

And according to the Daily Mail’s Nathan Salt, the Rotterdam-born defender is packing his bags and preparing to bid farewell to United.

Although Salt hasn’t mentioned a specific club, Malacia is a genuine option for Juventus, so a move to Turin certainly seems the most likely outcome.

Milos Kerkez unlikely replacement

Even though Malacia looks to be on his way out and United are desperate to sign a new left-back, it seems Amorim must revisit his options.

And that is because not only is top target Nuno Mendes expected to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, but Bournemouth are also against selling Milos Kerez.

Kerkez is wanted by United, and his superb goal against Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon will only amplify that interest.

The Hungarian is under contract until 2028 though, so Bournemouth are under absolutely no pressure to sell him.

The 21-year-old is having an exceptional season, and if he continues playing the way he is until the summer, could surpass Dominic Solanke (£64 million) as the Cherries’ most expensive-ever player.

Judging by these latest reports though — any potential deal for Kerez, whether to United or anywhere else, will need to wait.
