Tyler Blackett could be set for a loan move away from Old Trafford
United are reportedly open to loan offers for Blackett before the Football League deadline passes on Thursday.
According to the Daily Mail, Louis van Gaal is keen for the United youngster to join a Championship side for the rest of the season to gain vital first-team experience.
While Blackett has made a breakthrough into United's first-team squad this season, he hasn't played for the Red Devils since their 1-0 defeat to Southampton in January.
There is general consensus around the United's training ground that the 20-year-old needs to toughen up before he is considered a regular for Van Gaal.

Blackett earned a two-year contract with the Red Devils after his breaking into the first team but a potential loan move until the end of the current campaign could be extended for next season.
Van Gaal has already boosted United's young talents by offering them appearances with the first team.
After attending an under-21 fixture, he said: "I was very impressed and have seen a lot of players who, at the end, can be a possibility for me, just like [Tyler] Blackett, [Paddy] McNair, [Jesse] Lingard and Reece James, who have all played in the first team.
"I want to give these talents a chance, maybe on the tour in advance of the [2015/16] season."
