Kalvin Phillips is expected to push for an exit this January.
The former Leeds United midfielder has endured a difficult 15-month campaign since his move from Elland Road in the summer of 2022.
The 28-year-old midfielder is expected to push for a move this January as he faces an uncertain future under the management of Pep Guardiola.
Phillips is yet to start for Man City this season and has continued to sit on the bench even with Rodri missing from the starting lineup.
He fell way down the pecking order since the arrival of Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes in the summer.
Newcastle United and Juventus are expected to be serious contenders for the Man City outcast but Manchester United have emerged as a surprise candidate to lure from their city rivals.
Man United are plotting the departure of midfielder Casemiro who is currently out injured and had a decline in his performance levels.
In a recent interview, Pep Guardiola was asked about a possible departure for the England international.
He said: “I don’t know what’s going to happen. I feel so sorry for my decision for him. I’ve said that many times.
“He doesn’t deserve what has happened to him and I’m so sorry.
“And I’ve said many times, if it comes to January and he stays, I’m more than pleased because he trains really good and he’s a lovely guy and character.”
