Salia, who has already found the net in this season's Europa Conference League, is a versatile attacker, capable of playing both as a striker and an attacking midfielder.

Manchester United's recent Europa League draw against Twente has put manager Erik ten Hag in a spot of bother, according to Rudy Galetti.

The Manchester United board has reportedly urged Ten Hag to lift the level of play, signalling that further evaluations may be made if the team's form does not improve in the near future.

Manuel Ugarte and homegrown player Kobbie Mainoo are seen as the future of United's midfield.

With both Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire set to leave the club next summer when their contracts expire, United are planning ahead by identifying replacements.
