There has been an update since Bild on Thursday suggested that Manchester United could acquire Donyell Malen through a trade involving Jadon Sancho.
The Red Devils and Borussia Dortmund will hold a “meeting today” to discuss the possible move, according to their writer Christian Falk, who took to X.
He clarifies that although the main plot point is a player trade between Manchester United and their Bundesliga rivals, there is another way for a joyful conclusion.
The gulf that has developed between Erik ten Hag and the England international—who no longer has a home at Old Trafford—is widely known.
That is why an exit in January made sense for the forward, and if Manchester United can get something in exchange, whether it be a player or money, then even better.
That’s why the idea of replacing him with Donyell Malen makes sense, and Dortmund’s demand is either €30m for their player or a straight swap with Sancho.
One to keep an eye out, as this could move quickly if all parties approve.
