Man United are entering a tough market this week as they look for a late left-back addition amid injury to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Manchester United have done some good work in the transfer window but enter thee final days in a scramble.
As such, United are looking to enter the market this week for a short-term fix. Barcelona's Marcos Alonso was a fleeting link but Marc Cucurella and Sergio Reguilon are of genuine interest.The pair are out of favour at Chelsea and Tottenham respectively and while neither are ideal options, this is the kind of pond United are fishing in with just five days left until the deadline. Both have struggled in recent seasons but earned their big moves for a reason.
Defending is, somewhat obviously, the most important aspect for the pair and there Cucurella has the advantage. During the 2021/2022 campaign, the then-Brighton star averaged more defensive actions across the board compared to Reguilon. However, when it came to final third influence, Reguilon averaged more assists , key passes and crosses into the penalty area . It was these numbers that allowed the Spurs man to create more goals during the campaign.
