Manchester United stopper Ron-Robert Zieler has told boss Sir Alex Ferguson that he wants to be loaned out in the January transfer window. The 20-year-old is highly thought of at Manchester United but is down the pecking order for first team action.
Zieler signed for United from Cologne in summer 2008 and is currently representing Germany at the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt.
Zieler, who is yet to make his United debut, said: "I became absolutely delighted to be offered new terms this year as this was an indication the coaching staff is believing in the chance that I could make it at the club," he told Kicker.
"I had the desire to challenge for a first-team spot as soon as possible, but I am still lacking something to do so as Edwin van der Sar is a great shot-stopper and Ben Foster and Tomasz Kuszczak are experienced back-ups.
"I want to achieve the next step in my career and I have spoken to the manager about it.
"He really understands my point. I have always acted loyal to the club and I go on doing so.
"Anyway if possible I would like the chance to have a change of clubs this winter."
