Manchester United’s quest for a left-back solution following Luke Shaw’s injury has spanned across Europe, encountering rejection from clubs like Villarreal. The club explored the option of acquiring Alfonso Pedraza after Pervis Estupinan’s departure to Brighton left a gap at Villarreal.
However, Villarreal swiftly turned down United’s inquiry for Pedraza, firmly stating their disinterest in any loan deal for the Spanish defender. Pedraza’s role at the club remains intact for this season.
Villarreal Reject Pedraza Approach:
With Villarreal’s rejection, Manchester United shifted their focus towards Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, entering ongoing negotiations for his potential acquisition.
As reported by MARCA, Villarreal shut down Manchester United’s loan proposal for Alfonso Pedraza without entering negotiations.
United’s initial list of left-back options included Marcos Alonso, Sergio Reguilon, and Nicolas Tagliafico. The urgency stems from Luke Shaw’s prolonged absence due to injury, leaving United without a senior left-back.
Considering financial fair play regulations, a loan deal was the most suitable option for United to reinforce their left-back position.
Progressing in their pursuit, Manchester United is now in negotiations with Chelsea for Marc Cucurella. Personal terms between the player and the club have been agreed upon, indicating a potential deal in the making.
These are pivotal hours for Manchester United’s pursuit of a left-back solution, with the focus now squarely on finalizing the negotiations with Chelsea for Marc Cucurella.
