Amad Diallo<\/strong><\/h3>\nAmad Diallo shone in the Championship for Sunderland last year, scoring 13 goals for Tony Mowbray\u2019s young side to take them to the play-offs. That included a stunning free-kick from range in the semi-finals, but it was not enough to get past eventual play-off winners Luton.<\/p>\n
He had been earmarked for a role at United this season to stake his claim for the right-wing spot, but suffered a knee injury during pre-season that has since required surgery. Amad may opt to return to the Championship on loan for the second half of the season to prove his fitness in a division he knows well, and Rooney\u2019s Birmingham could be the perfect landing spot.<\/p>\n

A January loan to Birmingham could help Pellistri showcase his talents on a regular basis and return next season full of confidence, having spent 18 months at Old Trafford struggling to win over Ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Shola Shoretire<\/strong><\/h3>\nShola Shoretire is another youngster that Ten Hag has overlooked so far this season, as the 19-year-old has failed to play a single minute of senior football. However, he did impress on loan at Bolton in League One in the second half of last season, to such an extent that the Manchester Evening News claimed that there were offers from Championship clubs this summer to take the midfielder on loan.<\/p>\n
That move failed to materialise and he has been captaining the under-21s this season but after a taste of first-team football with Bolton, Birmingham could provide the next platform for the talented teenager.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, the 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Birmingham and was a fixture in the midfield. Having become a fan favourite during his time at St Andrews\u2019 he may be receptive to another spell in the Midlands, getting the chance to work under one of United\u2019s icons in Rooney.<\/p>\n
