      Mejia, 20, is currently in Indonesia playing for Colombia in the Under-20 World Cup and both the player and United hope to find some interest off the back of that.
      United signed Mejia from Real Zaragoza in 2019.

      United manager Erik ten Hag invited the winger to train with the senior squad last month after Marcus Rashford’s injury.

      Garnacho has been enjoying a breakout season at Old Trafford with six goals and six assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.

      Julen Lopetegui’s side conceded a last-gasp equaliser to draw 1-1 with Everton.
      But that did not stop Neves from being all smiles as he received applause from the supporters after the final whistle. More

      But the England international’s struggles continued at the start of this season and now he has found himself regularly warming the bench.
      Despite being linked with a transfer switch to both Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain, exclusively revealed by Sun Sport, the defender has been adamant that he is happy at United.
      However, Jaap Stam is adamant that Maguire’s time is up at his former club.
      The Dutchman, who won the Premier League three times during his three-year stint under Sir Alex Ferguson, told Adam Catterall on the debut episode of Full Circle, presented by Bet365: “If I was Maguire, looking at him and how it’s working out for him, or how it’s going this season, I would have said [he should leave], and I think that’s best for him as well because he needs to play.

      “You’re at a certain age that you want to play, you need to play football. It seems like Ten Hag doesn’t always believe in Maguire.
      “I think the best thing to do is to go somewhere where you can play week in, week out.”
      And Stam explained that he knows full well how hard it is to leave United.
      He called his arrival at the Theatre of Dreams in 1998 from PSV the “greatest moment” of his career but was shunted out of the exit door by Fergie following a fall-out with the iconic manager over the release of a controversial autobiography.

      Stam added: “That was a very low point… The book deal of course was a big part of that.
      “I could have stayed, of course, I could have said to the club that I don’t want to leave.
      “Eventually, I might play again, but the manager at that time went with different players… I would be on the bench. And he knew with my mentality, and the type of player I was, that I always wanted to play.” More

      De Gea, 32, is out of contract next summer and wants to stay at Old Trafford but so far talks over fresh terms have stalled.
      United boss Erik ten Hag has given his public backing to the Spaniard, although it is understood concerns remain from the player’s camp that he may not be No.1 next season.
      De Gea was signed from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and the pandemic meant plans for a testimonial year were put on the backburner.
      He is now into his second decade at United and the club will look to recognise his long service – if he puts pen to paper in the coming weeks.

      Ten Hag has been linked with other top keepers in recent months.

      And the Red Devils are reportedly interested in Everton’s England No1 Jordan Pickford.
      Brentford’s David Raya has also been mentioned, although incoming Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is favourite to lure the Spaniard.

      And he will have impressed them as he struck a hat-trick in a 4-0 victory over Cercle Brugge.

      Arsenal look to have spurned the Premier League title after leading the way for almost the entire season.
      Defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening would clinch the title for Manchester City.
      And even if the Gunners take three points at the City Ground, Pep Guardiola’s men will seal a fifth league crown in six seasons with a win over Chelsea on Sunday.
      Meanwhile, Orban will be hoping his performances this season can convince Man Utd to sign him ahead of the likes of Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen.
      As well as his goals, Orban hit the crossbar straight from kick-off earlier this season.
      And he scored an outrageous overhead kick against West Ham in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals.
      Orban cost Gent £2million when he joined the club in January from Norwegian side Stabaek. More

      Speaking on BT Sport, he said: “I did ask him the question (is it his last home game for Spurs) and he was very diplomatic in his answer. I don’t think even he knows. 
      “He might have ambitions to go somewhere else and potentially win a trophy but it’s not just down to him, he still has a year left.
      “There’s a man at the club that doesn’t want to lose his star player and what would it mean to these fans to lose a player of Kane’s calibre?
      “Where can he go? Manchester City City is sewn up now. Manchester United is the only real option I can see. You can’t go to Chelsea. You can’t go to Arsenal.

      And while the team have endured a disappointing campaign, Kane has maintained a fine goalscoring record – bagging 30 goals in 48 games.

      “It’s down to what he sees as the benchmark for his career. What does he want out of his career?
      “Does he want to beat the personal accolades of being top goal scorer for England, a one club man at Spurs and dominating all the stats? Or does he want more onus on it being a team sport and winning things as a team?'” More
