Celtic are reportedly interested in taking Manchester United defender Tyler Blackett.

The 21-year-old is being linked with a loan move to a number of clubs including West Brom, Valencia and David Moyes’ Real Sociedad as per the Daily Mail.

The English defender has two years left on his current contract at Manchester United, which he signed back in February.

He has made 11 appearances including several at the beginning of last season as United battled with a host of injuries to a number of their starting defenders.

England’s Under-21 international is expected to follow Jonny Evans out of Old Trafford before the window closes on Tuesday at 6pm. In his brief appearances for Van Gaal’s Reds, he hasn’t performed and looks to be on his way out to gain some valuable experience and playing time.

Blackett has had previous loan spells at Blackpool and Birmingham and is unlikely to get much playing time at the moment in Van Gaal’s United team that has conceded just one goal this season.
