Manchester United have halved their asking price for winger Anthony Elanga to £10million.
United had initially intended to loan Elanga, 20, next season but his peripheral status has convinced the power brokers to consider offers for the Swede.
Elanga has started once this calendar year - against Charlton in the League Cup on January 10 - and he has been omitted from 10 of the last 13 Premier League matchday squads.

Striker Anthony Martial is out of the FA Cup final against Manchester City on Saturday but Elanga has little chance of making the matchday squad.
The academy graduate has not played in the league since he emerged late on in United's 7-0 thrashing at Liverpool on March 5. Elanga has not played since Sevilla ejected United from the Europa League on April 20.
Elanga, who made his debut in May 2021, has played 55 times for United and scored four goals. Although he made his debut under former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he came to prominence during Ralf Rangnick's interim tenure, starting 16 times.
United manager Erik ten Hag started Elanga in their first win of the season against Liverpool and he kept his place for the following fixtures against Southampton and Leicester.
However, Elanga has only started four times since and at least three wingers are ahead of Elanga in the pecking order on the left-hand side he prefers to operate from.
Elanga has not scored for United since he equalised in the Champions League round-of-16 draw with Atletico Madrid in February 2022.
A number of United players face uncertain futures as the club plan for more outgoings than incomings in the summer transfer window.
