Man Utd exit: Jose Mourinho gives green light to this player leaving Old Trafford

Tyler Blackett looks set to leave Manchester United this summer

The Manchester United youngster has fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho and looks set to leave this summer.

Blackett, who went out on loan to Celtic last season, isn't part of the Portuguese's plans.

Mourinho has already added Eric Bailly to his ranks and is thought to be keen on bringing in another with Southampton's Jose Fonte top of his wishlist.

And in order to make room, Mourinho has sanctioned a move for Blackett to join the Championship outfit, The Sun report.

The 22-year-old could be in line for a fresh start under United legend Jaap Stam at the Madejski Stadium.

A move for Blackett will likely help his career with the young starlet in desperate need of regular playing time.

Blackett made his breakthrough into the United team under Louis van Gaal in the 2014/15 season when the Dutchman became short of defensive players due to injuries.

He made 12 appearances that campaign but the following season he moved to Celtic.

A brief spell in Scotland saw his loan spell cut short when Van Gaal recalled him again due to a shortage of players, but Blackett failed to make a single appearance after returning.
