Manchester United may recall Robbie Brady from his loan at Hull City and send him to a Premier League rival in January.
Brady is also on course for a contract extension at United.
The midfielder has shone at Championship side Hull this season and has revealed that United have big plans for him in the New Year.
Brady has a year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford and is set to step up negotiations on a new deal in January after Alex Ferguson assured him that he is part of the club's future.
