Head coach Igor Tudor is reported to be unhappy with Latovlevici and Linnes.

Blind has under 12 months remaining on his contract and has yet to sign a new deal.

Galatasaray would be able to sign the Dutch international on a free transfer if they are happy with waiting until the end of the season.

The Lions would have to pay a premium to sign Blind in January.

Blind has found himself on the fringes of Jose Mourinho’s squad this season.

The 27-year-old has played just 540 minutes of first-team football for the Red Devils this season.

Galatasaray are currently first in the Super Lig, five points clear of second placed Besiktas.

The Lions are solely focusing on the league this season after being eliminated from the Europa League in the playoff round.
