Manchester United are welcoming loan offers for Anthony Elanga before the January deadline, according to reports, with several European clubs thought to be interested in his services.
Elanga, 20, was handed plenty of game-time by Ralf Rangnick upon his appointment as interim manager last season. However, ever since Erik ten Hag took charge on a permanent basis, Elanga has slipped behind several players in the pecking order including academy graduate Alejandro Garnacho.
It means he could, temporarily, be on his way out this month. Reports from 90min suggest United are 'willing' to listen to offers for the nine-cap international.

However, the same article indicates that a deal will not be rushed through if it does not suit and Ten Hag will utilise him as and when required should it not come to fruition. 90min understands that potential suitors from Italy, Spain and Germany have contacted the club about Elanga.
Borussia Dortmund are thought to be heading up the queue. However, there is also interest from the Premier League with Everton, Leicester City and Southampton all standing by.
The Manchester Evening News understands that talks are underway over a number of potential exits of youth players, with an emphasis on matching players with a club where they will get regular playing time in the second half of the season.
Elsewhere, reports from The Sun state Barcelona are lining up a shock move for United 'target' Marco Asensio despite the Spain international currently playing for their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
Asensio, 27, has been tentatively linked with United over the last few windows and he's now approaching the final few months of his contract. No progress has been made in contract talks, so will he leave the Bernabeu this month?
Interest from Barcelona stems from club president Joan Laporta having a strong working relationship with his long-time agent Jorge Mendes. Asensio has totted up 258 appearances for Real across seven seasons.
