Manchester United are exploring exit opportunities for Tyrell Malacia, with Celtic linked with a move. If Kieran Tierney joins Celtic in the summer, Malacia would be targeted for a six-month loan to bridge the gap.

Celtic are evaluating Tyrell Malacia as an alternative option in case their efforts to re-sign Kieran Tierney to Parkhead this month do not succeed. Malacia, currently with Manchester United, is being considered as a potential backup for Greg Taylor, who is the only recognised left back available to Brendan Rodgers. The player made his return from a serious knee injury in November, having been out for 18 months. Meanwhile, Real Betis has also expressed interest in Malacia. He was acquired from Feyenoord for approximately £13 million four years ago and recently played against Rangers in a Europa League match at Old Trafford.
