Man Utd to let 3 players leave on loan in January including summer signing Diego Leon

Manchester United are ready to allow 3 players to leave on loan in the January transfer window.

As Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee are linked with permanent moves away from the side, United are preparing loans for 3 youngsters who are not in manager Ruben Amorim’s plans for the rest of the season.0

One of those youngsters is Leon, has been included in the match day squad but is yet to make his debut under Amorim who is keen to hand him minutes on the pitch elsewhere.0

Leon has played a handful of U21 games for United this season but faces competition with Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot in the left wing-back position.0

Nice, who are also owned by Ineos are said to be interested in bringing him in for the second half of the season which could help Leon reach his full potential in Ligue 1 which is a much slower league than the Premier League.0

Reports also claim that Sekou Kone and Ayden Heaven are also keen on making a move away in January, as first team football is very unlikely for the pair at the moment.0

United will lose Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui to the Africa Cup of Nations over the next two months and Amorim will be keen to rotate his side. He may use this time to advertise his young talent, who will be wanted by several clubs.0
