The Netherlands international returned from a long-term knee injury earlier this season, but he has struggled to impress manager Ruben Amorim .

Malacia has started three games in all competitions for the club, but his performances have been disappointing from the left wing-back role.

He has been a regular on the bench for the past few weeks and Pedulla claims that Como are interested in bringing him to Serie A in the near future.

The newly-promoted club want to add more solidity to their backline and Malacia has been identified as an upgrade on Alberto Moreno .

United have no plans of parting ways with him at the moment, but the scenario could change if they land a quality replacement.

The club are eyeing an ambitious deal for Paris Saint-Germain's Nuno Mendes , but he is more likely to be sold in the summer.
