He has made only 22 appearances for United since joining in the summer of 2017 and with over a year to run on his current deal, there could yet be a future for him at the club.
There have been calls for him to feature in the Premier League next season – provided the Yorkshiremen gain promotion.
Others talked up Bielsa’s managerial ability and how he could be integral to the Dutchman’s possible transformation into a first-team star.
One fan suggested he needed a pre-season while another believed he would suit the Argentine’s system.
A further member of the Whites crowd claimed that Bielsa “could do wonders” with the winger if he hands him an opportunity next season.
