23-yo LaLiga speed demon wanted by United in January makes major decision on his future
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readAlejandro Balde is open to leaving Barcelona in January, with Manchester United emerging as a potential destination for the left-back.
From the source
Manchester United were hot on the heels of Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde this summer, but ended the transfer window without bolstering the position. That decision turned out to be a blunder, with Luke Shaw struggling to stay fit and Michael Carrick having to turn to stop-gap options for the role.
Diogo Dalot, Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui have all failed to impress in the position, igniting talk of a return for the Spanish speedster in January.
Balde’s position at Camp Nou is fragile as well, with the player managing just four appearances across competitions this season, all of which were from the bench.
