The Dutch international has flopped since his £35million and has found himself frozen out since Jose Mourinho took over at the club in the summer.
A key figure under Luis van Gaal he is wanted on loan by Roma but United are believed to favour a more permeant exit.
AC Milan have also made enquiries and Manchester United could use their interest to force Roma into signing Depay on a permanent deal when the transfer window opens.
United are clearing the decks of unwanted squad players with Italian international Matteo Darmian set to return home to join Inter Milan.
Like Depay he has become an outcast under Mourinho who is planning a major overhaul of his defence.
