Brandon Williams could stay at Manchester United amid uncertainty in the squad's full-back positions.
Williams, 21, missed the entirety of pre-season through injury but is nearing a return to match fitness and is prepared to reassess his options when the January transfer window opens.
Luke Shaw has been heavily criticised following two dismal performances at left-back and was hauled off at half-time in the 4-0 thrashing by Brentford.
