Manchester United’s pursuit of a new left-back gains momentum with contact made to Brentford for Rico Henry. The move follows Luke Shaw’s injury sidelining him for months, prompting United to explore the left-back market, particularly favoring loan deals.
While Marc Cucurella leads the list, Manchester United is actively considering Chelsea’s out-of-favor full-backs, including Marcos Alonso and Sergio Reguilon. The recent addition of Rico Henry to their radar showcases United’s thorough approach to options.
Adrian Kajumba reports that Manchester United has initiated contact with Brentford regarding a possible loan deal for Rico Henry. However, the likelihood of Brentford agreeing to a loan is minimal. Henry holds a pivotal role, making his departure contingent on a significant transfer fee.
United’s pursuit of Henry seems more an exercise in due diligence, as they navigate Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations that limit major expenditures.
Beyond the left-back hunt, United is also in the market for a midfielder. While links to Sofyan Amrabat cool, connections to Ryan Gravenberch intensify.
Rico Henry’s emergence as a new potential option underscores Manchester United’s dynamic transfer strategy. The club’s efforts to strengthen their squad, coupled with the challenges of financial regulations, set the stage for intriguing developments as the transfer window nears its conclusion.
