Celtic\u2019s transfer developments may force Manchester United to keep defender Tyrell Malacia, who wants to leave the club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Malacia was one of five players who made it clear to manager Ruben Amorim that they wanted to depart Manchester United<\/a> in this transfer window. <\/p>\n

The left-back was signed under previous boss Erik ten Hag from Feyenoord in 2022, though a lengthy knee injury suffered in July 2023 left him on the side lines for over a year. <\/p>\n

Amorim wants to sell players who have no future at the club to boost his transfer funds, but offloading Malacia has so far proven tricky.<\/a><\/p>\n

Malacia move in doubt as Celtic line up new left-back<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

In a Football Insider<\/strong> exclusive it was revealed Scottish champions Celtic have expressed an interest in Malacia<\/a> with a loan move on the table, if Man United could subsidise his wages. <\/p>\n

However, no move has yet materialised, with the Scottish domestic season already underway, and Celtic<\/a> have eyed up another left-back. <\/p>\n

In another Football Insider<\/strong> exclusive, Celtic have joined Rangers in pursuit of Monaco left-back Kassoum Outtara<\/a>, who has a \u00a315million price tag.<\/p>\n

Celtic may feel the 20-year-old would be happier to play back-up to Kieran Tierney, who the Hoops re-signed from Arsenal<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

With Amorim wanting to rebuild his Man United squad, not being able to get Malacia off the books is a financial blow. <\/p>\n

Amorim still has plenty of work to do in the transfer market, although he is close to the signing of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sekso. <\/a><\/p>\n

There is still Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho to also sell and so far Man United have only been able to move Marcus Rashford on loan to Barcelona. <\/p>\n

Celtic face a challenge though signing a player wanting to sit on the bench most weeks with Tierney set to be number one choice at left-back. <\/p>\n

Outtara is younger than Malacia, the Frenchman would join on a permanent transfer, and therefore he may be more willing to wait for his opportunity.<\/p>\n\nApperances<\/td>\n16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGoals<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAssists<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Outtara\u2019s 24\/25 stats in all competitions at Monaco.<\/p>\n

Amorim though needs a suitor for Malacia and needs to establish whether a deal is still on with Celtic. <\/p>\n

Celtic though may wait until their Champions League destiny is decided, with the Hoops having to navigate a play-off round before they enter the league stage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
