Bordeaux ace Malcom is learning English amid interest from Manchester United.

The 20-year-old Brazilian starlet, who has scored seven goals and provided four assists in 18 Ligue 1 appearances this season, was the subject of talks between United and Bordeaux last month.

United were exploring the possibility of signing Malcom for a fee in the region of £33million and then loaning him back to the French club.
