Manchester United FC is monitoring Alex Balde at FC Barcelona and considering a move before the transfer deadline, sources revealed to ESPN.
Manchester United FC is looking for a new left-back and inquired about Newcastle's Lewis Hall earlier this summer. The club has downplayed the possibility of signing Alex Balde, but FC Barcelona is aware of United's interest.
The 22-year-old was not included in Barcelona's squad for Sunday's 5-0 victory over Elche. Head coach Hansi Flick explained that he told the Spanish international it was best to "clear his head" amid mounting speculation about a transfer.
Sources told ESPN that Flick wants to speak with Alex Balde one-on-one before deciding on his future. Balde wants assurance about his playing time this season, with João Cancelo and Berto Espars both capable of playing in the same position.
If Alex Balde is allowed to leave and considers a move to Old Trafford, Manchester United FC would negotiate a season-long loan with an option to buy. FC Barcelona values the Spanish international between €30 million (£26 million/$35 million) and €40 million (£34 million/$47 million).
Sources told ESPN that Manchester United FC is interested in signing a new left-back due to concerns that Luke Shaw cannot maintain the intensity of playing three games per week during the Premier League and Champions League seasons.
Shaw started every league game last season, but the 31-year-old has been plagued by injuries throughout his career.
