"Amorim has often opted for a back three of Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt this season, with Leny Yoro usually the go-to backup. That has left both Ayden Heaven and Tyler Fredricson out in the cold, but it isn't either of them who are being tipped for a temporary switch, but a player who likes to operate in one of the wing-back roles."
"According to journalist Uriel Lugt, information has been relayed that Diego Leon could be offered the chance to head out on loan in January, after a flurry of displays for Manchester United's Under-21s this season. Leon scored his first goal for the club in a recent victory over Tottenham in Premier League 2, charging forward from defence to finish well for Travis Binnion's side."
"Leon has made the bench for United a couple of times already under Amorim, as well as featuring in pre-season, but it seems his development is being worked on behind the scenes at Carrington, with a loan move now being touted. He did make his senior debut for Paraguay back in October, and the teenager is being tipped to head out to a 'European club' in the report posted on Monday."
Manchester United remain unbeaten in five matches and could climb to fourth with a win. Lisandro Martinez is nearing a return to first-team training, which affects squad selection. Ruben Amorim has favoured a back three of Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt, with Leny Yoro as primary backup. Ayden Heaven and Tyler Fredricson have struggled for minutes. Diego Leon has impressed for the Under-21s, scored against Tottenham in Premier League 2, and earned senior Paraguay recognition. United have placed Leon on bench duty and are reportedly considering a January loan to a European club to aid his development.
