The 63-year-old told the club that scouts should take a closer look at Phillips, Bellingham and Haidara, with striker Erling Haaland also a name which was brought up by the interim manager when talking about possible signings.
United have just five senior midfielders on the books at this moment in time who are capable of playing in a defensive or central role, one of whom is Paul Pogba, who is currently out injured.
