Leon has played a few games for the U21 team this season, but faces competition for the left wing-back position with Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot.

Nice, a French club owned by the same owners as Manchester United, is reportedly interested in bringing Leon to the team for the second half of the season.

This could provide Leon with more playing time in Ligue 1, a league that is slower-paced than the Premier League.

Additionally, Sekou Kone and Ayden Heaven are also considering a move away from Manchester United in January, as they are unlikely to receive first-team playing time.

Manager Amorim may use the January transfer window to give his young players more experience and to attract interest from other clubs.
