Manchester United are interested in signing Girona full-back Miguel Gutierrez, according to Marca journalist Chris Winterburn.
The Red Devils could also activate their buyback option on Alvaro Fernandez, with both deals economically appealing to them.
Gutierrez has been on Man United’s radar for a while. They once looked to sign him as a youth player while he was still with Real Madrid.
The 23-year-old Spaniard ended up making ten appearances for Los Blancos, winning the Champions League with them in 2021-22.
He helped Spain under-23 win the Olympic gold medal last summer after an incredible season in La Liga where he made the La Liga Team of the Season after Girona finished third.
Gutierrez has played as a left-back, left midfielder and left winger this season, making him a solid option for the left wing-back position at Man United.
He has also featured in midfield and behind the striker in some games this season, and such versatility will come in handy if the Red Devils sign him.
With Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia struggling with their fitness, the Girona star could prove to be an upgrade on the duo.
Landing him could help turn their fortunes around heading into the second half of the season.
The Red Devils need quality recruitment next month if they are to end the campaign on an impressive note after slipping to 13th in the table after 17 league games.
The board will be eager to back manager Ruben Amorim in the coming weeks.
