According to rumours, despite their injury issue at left-back, Manchester United is getting closer to signing a much-needed replacement.

What is the most recent Manchester United news?
Before the market closes, there may be a number of incomings and outgoings at Old Trafford as the Red Devils anticipate a pretty hectic finale to the transfer window. Fabrizio Romano, a transfer specialist, provided an update on Manchester United’s custodian position on X:

“Dean Henderson’s medical has been completed, and Crystal Palace is likely to announce his signing today. An additional £5 million will be given to Manchester United. Altay Bayindir is in Manchester and ready to replace him.

‘Initial contact’ has reportedly been made over Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, according to Sky Sports News. Hojbjerg is free to leave north London if a better opportunity to use his skills arises before the end of the transfer window.

According to journalist Christian Falk, Scott McTominay is a genuine target for Bayern Munich as they search for a player to play the ‘holding six’ position, and his representatives are in communication with the German powerhouse to negotiate a possible transfer to the Bundesliga.

Mason Greenwood is reportedly on Besiktas’ short list of objectives and might receive a move there, according to the Turkish publication Sabah Sport.

Luke Shaw, a left defender for Manchester United, is out with a muscular injury that might sideline him for up to six weeks at Old Trafford, according to 90 minutes. Due to a lack of choices at Ten Hag’s disposal and the absence of Tyrell Malacia, the Red Devils have been forced to look into transfer options to assist strengthen their depth in the left-back position.

Marc Cucurella is he joining Manchester United?
Marc Cucurella of Chelsea is the main left-back target for Manchester United, according to Italian transfer guru Romano, who also disclosed that progress has been made in efforts to bring him to Old Trafford. Romano said on X that there is a “agreement in principle” on personal matters.

You should be aware that Manchester United and Cucurella have come to an agreement in principle. The player’s side received the green light. As they want to complete the Cucurella trade with Chelsea as soon as possible, Man United won’t negotiate for any other left back at this time.

According to Transfermarkt, Cucurella joined the Blues in a deal worth over £60 million last summer and has since made 33 appearances while registering two assists.

According to The Daily Mail, Manchester United has offered £2.5 million for the defender on loan; however, Chelsea wants to recover about $5 million before approving his temporary departure.

Cucurella, a £175k weekly paycheck who was dubbed a “sensational player” by journalist Josh Bunting, showed his defensive prowess last season despite having a difficult season in west London, according to WhoScored, winning about 2.8 tackles and making 1.5 clearances per Premier League match.

It appears that Cucurella may soon be moving to Old Trafford. For the Spain international, who has struggled so far this season at Stamford Bridge, a move to Manchester United may be the best opportunity for atonement.
