Alejandro Balde considers future at Barcelona amid Manchester United interest

Summary

Alejandro Balde's position at Barcelona is uncertain as he has played only 12 minutes in the first eight matches of the season. The left-back, who was previously the first-choice, is now third in the order behind Joao Cancelo and Xavi Espart. His lack of playing time may lead him to reconsider his future when the January transfer window opens, especially as Manchester United continues to show interest. Balde previously declined to leave Barcelona this summer, but ongoing limited involvement could prompt a reassessment.
