Manchester United’s fervent pursuit of a left-back replacement remains in high gear. After initiating contact with Nicolas Tagliafico, the club is now swiftly progressing towards securing a deal. The urgency arises from Luke Shaw’s extended absence due to injury.

Reports from Germain Garcia Grova indicate that Manchester United is poised to advance on a deal with Nicolas Tagliafico. The Argentine left-back’s past collaboration with Erik ten Hag adds a strategic dimension to United’s quest. As of now, Tagliafico leads the race to become United’s next left-back.

Amidst their search, Marc Cucurella and Marcos Alonso are also under consideration by Manchester United. However, Tagliafico’s growing prominence signals the club’s focused efforts.

Erik ten Hag’s familiarity with Tagliafico’s style and ability enhances the prospect’s appeal. As United navigates financial constraints, the pursuit aligns with a broader strategy that also prioritizes a midfielder acquisition.
