Manchester United are clearly intent on wiping out the left-back legacy of their previous managers, with their latest target being Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde in the 2025 summer transfer window.
Ruben Amorim has a left wing-back in mind, so Tyrell Malacia, a treasure from the former Erik ten Hag era, has been loan out to PSV Eindhoven.
Next in line is Luke Shaw, a legacy from former manager Louis van Gaal, who has been prone to injuries lately and has only played in คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย two games this season.
It was initially thought United would be stalling on Lecce wing-back Patrick Dorku. Who would cost up to £30m, but in practice Amorim has deploy the 19-year-old on the right. Having previously play on the left in Italy.
Until it dawned on me that the 40-year-old coach has reserved the left wingback spot for 21-year-old Balde of ‘Barca’. Who has made 31 appearances this season, scoring 1 goal and 6 assists.
The ‘Red Devils’ are taking advantage of the opportunity where the player has not yet decided on a new contract. Creating a project to persuade him to come and find a challenge at Old Trafford.
The current deal is sign until June 2028 but has a paltry £33.3m (€40m) valuation.
So until Balde agrees a new deal with Barcelona, which includes a buy-out clause of £890m (around €1bn). United are left with the opportunity to swoop in on the highly sought-after left-back.
In the past, the ‘ Red Devils ‘ had already convinced defender Gerard Pique to move from Barcelona to Old Trafford.
