Bayern Munich’s Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, 35, is another suggested option.
And so far, all signs point to the Red Devils looking for a loan solution in January.
At that point, United could envision massive potential spending over the summer, assuming football bosses ratify the purchase of 25% of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Casemiro and Raphael Varane have been considered “still wonderful players”; Any of them are signed up for summer outings.
The two highest-paid players appear to be Manchester United’s top players in a squad reshuffle, apart of course from the ruled out winger Jadon Sancho.
But former Liverpool winger John Barnes told Mybettingsites. co. uk: “They are both wonderful players, so just because their moves didn’t work the way they wanted doesn’t mean they aren’t wonderful players.
“The harmony and the togetherness of the team is still an issue at United. United have to sort out their internal issues.
“They’re all wonderful players, but it just didn’t work out. Look at Jadon Sancho, he’s a player but it just didn’t work out for him. “
“It’s not necessarily the fault of one individual, whether it’s Varane, Casemiro or Sancho. “
“It’s a matter of uncertainty within the club. Once they resolve those messes as Arsenal and Liverpool have done in recent years, United will be a more potent force in the future.
Manchester United enthusiasts don’t seem too pleased that club bosses are lining up Aaron Wan-Bissaka for a one-year contract extension.
One fan complained online: “I can’t, we’re doing this.
“We’re thinking about signing a new right-back to compete with Dalot and then selling Aaron this summer. “
Another posted: “Oh, is Aron Wan-Bissaka a Manchester United player?”
A third wrote: “Damn United keeping mid players.”
Negotiations over a new contract began in September and were put on hold when United finalised Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment.

But the former England U21 star is set to continue his weekly £90,000 wage at Old Trafford.

That’s the verdict of Anfield legend John Barnes as the hypothesis about the Crystal Palace winger intensifies.
The former England winger told Mybettingsites. co. uk: “Olise is a confident player who can play for any of the clubs.
“If I were to go to United, I would go to a club full of discord and lack of unity, so it will happen to go there and topple Manchester United. “
“United have a much bigger problem, so players should avoid going there thinking they will solve the club’s problems. “
“There’s a lack of togetherness, belief within the club from the players to the manager to the fans.”
“Olise is a player and it’s possible Liverpool and City are also interested in him and those two clubs are the most likely destination.
“It is a more interesting proposal because both clubs are stable, United. But Olise would be a wonderful signing for Manchester United, City and Liverpool. “

FIFA officials are scrambling to verify the venue for the 2026 World Cup final.
And there are signs that football’s biggest game could be played indoors for the first time.
New York’s MetLife Stadium has long been the favorite.
A site on the East Coast would allow for a mid-afternoon, prime-time start in Europe.
But temperatures in the Big Apple in mid-July regularly hit 90F-plus, likely to mean stifling conditions and a slow-paced game.

The goalkeeper will now meet his country and its Africa Cup of Nations bid in Côte d’Ivoire right after the match.
He will be available for the clash against Guinea the following day.
United reached an out-of-court settlement with Cameroon, after first signing Onana, believing he had retired from foreign football.
The club found out he would move to AFCON when he paid Inter Milan £47m in the summer.
But Cameroon persuaded him to change his mind.
Boss Ten Hag was adamant that Onana’s original promise he would be available throughout his first English campaign should be honoured, at least to some extent.

A Manchester United player who has spent no time with the club’s new 25% owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has been ostracised by winger Jadon Sancho, £72m.
Instead, the £72m winger will return to Borussia Dortmund in a loan deal that is expected to finalise over the weekend.
United want £3m to let him return to the club he left for the big – money deal that has ended with him being banned by ten Hag for publicly suggesting the manager has not told the truth about him over training issues.
Negotiations are ongoing, including how much United will have to pay of his £270,000 a week wages.

The message coming from Manchester United after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s visits is optimistic.
A source revealed: “The general feeling within the club is to embrace everything that Sir Jim and Ineos stand for.
“The spirit of Ineos and what he and his team can bring to the table has added to the overall package. “
Under-fire Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag can breathe easy for a bit at least despite his struggles and those of a side now wallowing eighth in the Prem.
Greater Manchester-born lord Ineos closed a £1. 3 billion deal to buy 25% of the Red Devils on Christmas Eve.
Ratcliffe, Ineos sporting director Brailsford and his team will oversee football operations. The chemical company’s chief executive, Jean-Claude Blanc, is expected to be named CEO, while a new director of football is expected to be appointed.
But the new force within the Theatre of Dreams may not take effect for weeks, until the Ratfliffe agreement is ratified.
It will first have to pass the Premier League’s style and style control and its acquisition of Class A shares is approved through the New York Stock Exchange.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe met Erik ten Hag and his team in a fixed training session that ended with smiles.
Ratcliffe and his right-hand man, Sir Dave Brailsford, visited Manchester United’s headquarters in Carrington and spent two hours at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
A club spokesperson confirmed: “It’s no secret that Sir Jim and Sir Dave have been in town for a few days now.

“Sir Jim also met the staff as well as the women’s team and the whole outcome was very positive.”

The Athletic believe United might target a loan swoop for the former Hamburg, Schalke and Mainz star.
Erik ten Hag has reportedly left Hannibal Mejbri from Manchester United this month.
The Red Devils have been hit hard by injuries this season, and Ten Hag had to choose between a depleted squad.
Mejbri, 20, has made five Premier League appearances and Ten Hag is said to be a fan of his tenacity and work rate.
And he needs the youngster to have more time to play, but he’s still not in a position to let it go, according to the Daily Mail.
Casemiro and Mason Mount are still unavailable due to injury.
Sofyan Amrabat has also missed the last two games and Ten Hag is willing to loan Mejbri once the midfield injury issues are resolved.
Manchester United star Amad Diallo has shown that he will take part in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Diallo returned after suffering a serious knee in United’s 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday after 36 minutes.
It’s his first appearance of the season and fueled the hypothesis that the in-form ace could make it to AFCON.
However, coach Jean-Louis Gasset has already selected his team and Diallo has been retained.
Sky Sports incorrectly reported that the 21-year-old had been up to par with the Ivory Coast national team.
But before the social media post was deleted, fans were worried about wasting Diallo for several matches.
However, the former Rangers and Sunderland star allayed fears by tweeting: “This is true. “

The former Manchester United striker, 38, was sacked by the Blues following their 3-0 defeat to Leeds on New Years Day.
Speaking on his podcast Vibe with Five, Ferdinand said: “I spoke to Wayne on the phone when he got the job.
“I spoke to him at the time, it’s a complicated time to enter a club when there are queues and they are fine, when they like the coach.
“I saw that the players liked the coach and bet on him.
“Nine times out of 10 a coach replaces someone who rarely gets it right. It’s a different situation and he’s up against the wall from the start. “
Facundo Pellistri is charging interest on loans this month.
The 22-year-old Uruguayan has played little in recent weeks, having enjoyed some playing time in the previous season.
With Amad Diallo recovered from injury, he has even less vision of the field.
According to the Manchester Evening News, several have expressed interest in loaning the winger out for the rest of the season.
Amid the news that Man Utd is for Michael Olise, let’s take a look at his Prem stats this season.
Manchester United are reportedly a summer move for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise.

Due to the huge sums spent on Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana last summer, Man Utd are expected to be limited to loan deals in January.
But they are already making plans for the future as Ratcliffe prepares for his first transition at the helm at the end of the season, with plans to “revamp” the team.
This is being led by the businessman’s right-hand man, Sir Dave Brailsford, as he begins to identify targets.
According to The Standard, Man Utd are keen to make 22-year-old Elise one of the first signings of the Ratcliffe era.
