Manchester United is in a race against time to recruit a left back to strengthen their defence before the transfer window ends.
Luke Shaw was one of Erik ten Hag’s top players last season, and Malacia proved to be a capable backup. However, both LBs are now sidelined with injuries.
As a result, Marc Cucurella’s name is in the spotlight at Old Trafford, and according to sources in Spain, the Chelsea player is on the verge of joining Man United.
The headline ‘Cucurella, very near to Manchester United’ was created by Marca.
According to a reputable Madrid-based news source, the former Barcelona defender is willing to agree to a move to Manchester United. We are currently negotiating terms to sign him on loan from the Blues.
Since arriving to London last year, the Spanish international has struggled to make an impression at Stamford Bridge.
In the 2022-23 season, he made 24 Premier League appearances as Chelsea finished in the bottom half of the standings.
The £110,000-a-week star has only appeared on the bench this season under Pochettino, so it is understandable that he would enjoy a move to Manchester United.
