Manchester United approaches Alejandro Balde as next transfer target

Manchester United has contacted the representatives of Alejandro Balde to explore a potential transfer. According to Fabrizio Romano, United is prioritizing a left-back after focusing on bolstering their midfield with a recent £65 million bid for Carlos Baleba. Despite United's interest, Balde is reportedly content at FC Barcelona after recently winning the La Liga title and playing a key role in the squad. He has been with the club since childhood and is not actively seeking an exit. United needs to secure a left-back option, particularly as concerns grow over Luke Shaw's fitness for frequent matches.
