The midfielder, 21, wants a loan move in search of regular senior football.
The former Brighton prospect believes it is the right time in his career to be playing consistently - though doesn't want to cut ties completely.
"My feeling at this moment is I want to stay," he said. "First and foremost, I want to be here and play as many games for Man United as possible.
"I'll sit down with the manager and higher-ups and see what's the best solution; the best way for me to develop, whether it's stay here or go on loan.
"The end goal for me is to play as many minutes as possible here, hopefully starting every week. So yeah, I'll sit down with them and see what's the best solution for that. I'll just see how the next few weeks go and then we'll go over those conversations."
