Goalkeeper Sergio Romero is demanding that be allowed to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer in January.
He is furious at his treatment by the club, for whom he last played in the Europa League quarter-final in August.
The 22-year old was set to move to Everton before deadline day, but the deal collapsed when United refused to back down on their demands for a £10 million fee.
And now Romero finds himself fourth choice at the club behind David de Gea, Dean Henderson, and Lee Grant, and has been left out of both the Champions League and Premier League squads. That means he faces the possibility of being paid £100,000 a week just to train with the club.
Recently, his wife Eliana Gueccio took to social media to lambast United for their treatment of his husband.
He has been self-isolating after returning from international duty with Argentina but is demanding showdown talks about his future with United bosses this week.
