Patrick Dorgu impressed in his few Manchester United games under Michael Carrick once Ruben Amorim was sacked, but the former Serie A star has sustained an injury, which means the club is back to playing Luke Shaw at left back.
Shaw has undoubtedly performed above expectations this season, but given his advancing age and tendency for injuries, the team must make an investment in a new full back during the summer transfer window.
Caught Offside has stated that Manchester United are keen on signing Alejandro Balde from Barcelona.
United are interested in the La Masia graduate given that he has become a consistent member of Hansi Flick’s starting eleven and possesses all-around abilities.
Move Could Be Difficult
Balde is an excellent left back. He is the ideal modern-day full back choice because of his pace, tackling skills, and effort on the ball.
He has the potential to excel at Manchester United and become the best in the world.

Due to Barcelona’s financial difficulties, it is never safe to completely rule out a possible exit, particularly from a La Masia graduate who they may profit from.
Balde would bring in a sizable sum of money for the Catalans, since his Transfermarkt valuation is £52 million.
Having said that, given that Balde frequently participates in the European Cup with the La Liga team, United would need to guarantee a Champions League spot for the upcoming campaign in order to have a good chance of attracting the defender from Barcelona.
