Manchester United will be looking to make it four wins in a row when they take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils won 2-0 against FCSB in the previous game away from home and booked their place in the last 16 of the Europa League.

The focus now shifts to the league, where they need to improve their home form.

United could remain busy in the final few days of the January transfer window, and there could be a few ins and outs.

Ruben Amorin has made it clear today that he doesn’t want to lose Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, as he thinks both players are the future of this club.

However, the Portuguese boss has hinted that Tyrell Malacia could leave the club on loan before Monday’s deadline.

The 25-year-old has returned to action from an 18-month absence caused by a knee meniscus injury in November.

He featured in the Europa League game against FCSB but was taken off after 45 minutes. The Dutch left-back, who can also play as a left-sided midfielder, has made only two starts in the Premier League.

Amorim was asked if Malacia could go out on loan. He said: “We will see. What i know is that it’s been really hard for Malacia. Long time without playing, then it’s hard to make a lot of games.

“A player like him, a fullback, sometimes in this system it’s hard for him because he’s not so offensive. He can play as one of the three defenders, if we have possession in more games, so it’s really difficult context for him, we want to help him.”

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Celtic are interested in signing him on loan. The Red Devils are willing to listen to offers for Malacia, and there is a possibility that a deal could be done before February’s deadline.
