The Englishman could now leave Old Trafford before the end of the window, with Juventus the frontrunners having held talks to sign the winger.

Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw are still sidelined with injury.

Meanwhile, Brighton eased to a dominant 3-0 win over Everton in Fabian Hurzeler’s first game in charge last weekend, make one change as Billy Gilmour replaces Mats Wieffer in midfield.
