Manchester United are in a race against time to secure the signing of a left back to improve their defense before the transfer window closes.
Luke Shaw was one of the best players for Erik ten Hag in the last campaign and Malacia proved to be a quality backup. However, both the LBs are currently out injured.

Therefore, the name of Marc Cucurella is in the focus at Old Trafford and as per reports in Spain, the Chelsea star is close to moving to Man United.
Marca have come up with a headline stating ‘Cucurella, very close to Manchester United’.
The renowned Madrid based news source have mentioned that the former Barcelona defender would be ready to agree a move to Man Utd, who are currently negotiating terms to sign him on loan from the Blues.
The Spanish international was impressive for Brighton but has failed to shine at Stamford Bridge since moving to London last year.
In the 2022-23 campaign, he made 24 appearances in the Premier League as Chelsea ended up in the bottom half of the table.
The £110,000 a week star has only warmed the bench in the current season under Pochettino and it is not surprising he would welcome a move to Man Utd.
Have your say – Who should Erik ten Hag sign to reinforce the left back position at Old Trafford?
