The Dane was left limping out of Old Trafford after a shocking challenge by Andy Carroll in Saturday’s FA Cup game between United and Reading.
It has now sparked a frantic deadline day search for a replacement.
Aouar is the latest name being linked to the club on a potential loan move.
Journalist Jonas Hen Shrag has tonight tweeted: “Manchester United have held early discussions regarding a potential loan deal for Houssem Aouar.
“Far from being done, and currently seems unlikely.”
Aouar has been at Lyon since 2016 but his impressive performances from the middle of the park has seen him consistently linked with moves away.
