Manchester United are now reportedly closing in on their next big signing, with an agreement already reached.
The Manchester club has submitted a £2.5 million loan bid to Chelsea for defender Marc Cucurella, according to theEuropean giants 'open talks' with Greenwood
The news outlet reports that with injuries to first-team fullbacks Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, United boss Erik ten Hag is"scrambling" to bring in cover for the season ahead. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils are trying to get the deal for Cucurella done as soon as possible, and have made significant strides in negotiating with the player.
"Understand Manchester United have reached an agreement in principle with Cucurella on personal terms. Green light arrived on player side," Romano wrote on Twitter.United are short of natural options at left-back after the injuries to Malacia, who was not involved in United's pre-season campaign as a result, and Shaw, who is expected to be out of action for a number of weeks due to a muscle issue.
Diogo Dalot filled in on the left side of defence when the Red Devils beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 on Saturday, but a more natural option is sought by Ten Hag. According to reports, Cucurella is viewed as United's top candidate for the position as it is believed he would most suit Ten Hag's system.
