Manchester United have been offered several solutions to their personnel problems on the wing but face a race against time to secure one.

According to English media, not only Anwar El Ghazi, but also Oussama Idrissi have been suggested as a temporary solution at Erik ten Hag's side.

Idrissi returned to Sevilla this summer after a loan spell at Feyenoord, but the Europa League winner opted to terminate his contract, which had another year to run. He remains a free agent.

After the reports about El Ghazi, it was also announced in England that Idrissi has been offered to Man Utd by his management. The club less attacker was linked this summer with a move to Saudi Arabia and a return to Feyenoord, where he played 38 official matches last season (7 goals, 8 assists) and won the national title.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Idrissi had returned to Feyenoord to train. The attacker is maintaining his condition while waiting for a new club, 1908.nl reported.

This is a temporary measure, as there is nothing concrete going on between Idrissi and the Rotterdam club.

According to English media, Idrissi's management saw Manchester United as a possible next step.

Due to the problems surrounding Antony and Jadon Sancho, the English top club are looking for reinforcements. However, there is a need for haste, as Premier League clubs can still register free agents for this season until Wednesday, 13 September at 2pm BST.

Man Utd lack wingers

Antony is presently under fire at Man Utd, because the Brazilian attacker is accused by his ex-girlfriend of domestic violence, assault and threats. He denies these claims.

Manchester United have, nevertheless, decided that Antony will not play for the time being.

"We condemn all forms of violence and abuse. We recognise the seriousness of the allegations and the impact this case has on everyone involved," United said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Sancho must fear a disciplinary punishment after he publicly questioned Ten Hag's statements about his absence from the squad against Arsenal before the international break.

According to the manager, the attacker had shown a lack of effort in training, but Sancho clearly disagreed with that reading.

“I don't allow people to say things that are completely untrue,” the attacker responded on social media. “I behaved very well in training this week. I think there are other reasons why I wasn't in the selection. has been a scapegoat for a long time and that is not fair!"

For Idrissi, then, the door is open.
