Manchester United has opened conversations with a Serie A club about a deal for Tyrell Malacia.
The Red Devils have loaded Malacia throughout the summer, with the Dutch international one of the unwanted players who are placed in a 'bomb team'.
The 26-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at PSV, where he made 12 performances in all competitions.
Roma is now investigating the possibility of a deal and has held early conversations with United about the conditions of a transfer.
Malacia is supposed to be open to the move while he has to accommodate his career in Italy.
Malacia, member of United in 2022 as the first signing of Erik ten Hag after the manager's arrival at Old Trafford.
The full-back moved from Feyenoord, but has difficulty setting up in the Premier League.
After making 39 performances in his debut season, Malacia missed the entire campaign of 2023-24 due to an injury.
He returned to action last season and played in eight games before he was borrowed from PSV in the January window.
In the meantime, United Winger Jadon Sancho is also the subject of importance of Roma.
As reported for the first time in Daily Mail's Transfer Confidential Column on Tuesday, the Italians are the last to discuss a potential loan and option to buy for the England International, but United only wants a permanent sale for the 25-year-old.
Given the wage of Sancho of £ 250,000 a week, United would prefer a sale for a fee between £ 20 million and £ 25 million.
