Man United could use Donyell Malen
They need a dynamic attacker like Malen who can operate on the flanks as well as in the centre. He could help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well. The Dutch attacker has 11 goals in 14 League matches with Roma, and he has managed to reclaim his form and confidence.
He will want to leave Aston Villa permanently at the end of the season, and the opportunity to play for Manchester United will be exciting. They will be able to provide him with Champions League football for the upcoming campaign, and he might be able to push for trophies with them as well.

Malen set for Premier League return?
They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down for any player. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can negotiate a reasonable deal to sign the player. That said, Malen struggled in the Premier League with Aston Villa, and it remains to be seen whether he is ready to continue in England if Manchester United come in for him.
It is fair to assume that Aston Villa also wants to sell the player permanently. Despite his recent form, he does not have a future at the West Midlands club, and it would be ideal for all parties to secure a permanent exit in the summer.
