Sources: Tyrick Mitchell will 'find it hard' to reject Man United 'offer'
Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell would be extremely keen on the idea of a move to Manchester United, sources have told Football Insider.
The Red Devils are clear admirers of the 27-year-old, who is out of contract at Selhurst Park at the end of the current season.
Mitchell has played in Europe and won trophies with the Eagles, but the opportunity to play Champions League football would hugely appeal to him.
Sources say that the defender would "find it hard" to turn down an "offer" from United if they put a contract on the table for him.
Mitchell has excelled for Palace in recent years, and his consistency has caught the eye of United, who remain in the market for a new left-back.
Michael Carrick's side are searching for a long-term replacement for Luke Shaw, but couldn't get their man in the summer transfer window.
Tyrick Mitchell to step into Luke Shaw's shoes
The addition of a new left-back was one of United's top priorities for the summer window, but they couldn't get a deal over the line in the end.
They were heavily linked with late moves for both Barcelona's Alejandro Balde and Joaquin Seys from Club Brugge, but the deadline passed without a deal being struck.
Carrick and Co. are searching for someone who can come in and initially serve as Shaw's understudy, before ultimately taking over the mantle as the starting option in the coming years.
Mitchell has developed significantly with Palace in recent years, and already possesses the level of Premier League experience that would make him a reliable option.
The South London outfit are reluctant to lose their key defender, but need to address his contract situation as quickly as possible.
United are not the only club who are keen on the quality that Mitchell provides, as he is on the radar of several of the Premier League's leading clubs.
Tyrick Mitchell taking step towards Champions League football
Former United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider last week that Liverpool are also chasing a deal for Mitchell at the moment.
The one-club man has taken his game to new heights in recent years, and he is now playing in the Europa League for the first time.
His performances in that competition are sure to draw close attention from both United and Liverpool, given that it is just one rung below the Champions League in the European ladder.
Top clubs will want further evidence that Mitchell has what it takes to perform well at the highest level of continental football, and he will have the chance to showcase that again this term.
