Following a disastrous start to the Premier League and a disappointing loss against Hull City, Manchester United have moved swiftly in the transfer market to bolster their defence. Michael Carrick's side endured a rocky beginning to their season, necessitating urgent efforts to secure a new left-back. Esteemed insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed this development.
The Red Devils are primarily engaged in direct negotiations with renowned agent Jorge Mendes, who represents Alejandro Balde of Barcelona. Initial discussions took place immediately after Saturday's match and ended on a positive note. However, the potential deal hinges entirely on the final financial demands from the Catalan club and the overall transfer fee.
In the meantime, United are also keeping their interest alive in Newcastle United's Lewis Hall. The club has not ruled out a move for the Englishman, but the success of this transfer will heavily depend on the stance of Newcastle's hierarchy and Hall's own desire to change clubs.
