Manchester United are exploring a deal to sign Barcelona star Alejandro Balde with the full-back previously suggesting he would be open to a move to Old Trafford.
United are nearing the end of their midfield rebuild with a talks progressing over a deal to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton for £65million. Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans were recruited in July to give Michael Carrick fresh options in the middle of the park.
A left-back is also on their shopping list before the summer transfer window closes. Newcastle United star Lewis Hall is their top target but the Magpies have no intention of selling one of their remaining prized assets after a summer of major upheaval at St James Park.

Balde broke into the first-team back in 2022 under club legend Xavi, replacing Jordi Alba in the starting XI.
In November that year, he took part in a quick-fire Q&A with Mundo Deportivo on TikTok. Balde was asked, ‘A club other than Barcelona?’, replying, ‘United’.

Balde started 21 games as Barcelona won the Spanish title last season, starting a further 10 in the Champions League and cup competitions. Hamstring and muscle issues saw him miss 10 games through injury
Left-back is an area United wish to strengthen in the next week. Luke Shaw started every game of their Premier League campaign last season but given his injury history, another option is being sought.
United have also identified Racing Santander’s Jorge Sanislas as a possible target but face competition from Atletico Madrid.
