England international Kalvin Phillips is on the verge of leaving Man City next January following Pep Guardiola made it clear that the midfielder will no longer feature regularly in his team this season.
Now reported The Sunthat United are monitoring Phillips’ situation at their local rivals and might pursue a surprise transfer for the England international in January.
According to the report, the former Leeds player might leave on loan in January before making a permanent move in the summer. Erik ten Hag, who is known to be an admirer of the player, wants to be ahead of the transfer race and get the deal ahead of clubs like Newcastle United who are also interested in signing the player.
The 28-year-old has played just eight games in all competitions this season, spending 215 minutes on the pitch. He was only in Guardiola’s starting line-up once, in the third round of the Carabao Cup once morest Newcastle.
The Red Devils need to strengthen their midfield as Sofyan Amrabat, who arrived on loan in the summer, has not added much value to the squad so far. The Red Devils are also considering Casemiro and Christian Eriksen for saleas both players have offers from Saudi Arabia.
It remains to be seen whether United will make an effort to sign Phillips, who is on the sidelines, or whether Eddie Howe can bring him to Newcastle.
