The Mirror report that Manchester United are keen to take advantage of the situation and offload one of their outcasts on the recently mega-rich Magpies. The defender still has two years left on his contract at Manchester United, surprisingly signing an extension in 2021 which runs until 2024. However, he remains behind Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and even Phil Jones in the pecking order at Old Trafford.
