Manchester United is reportedly eyeing Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde as the winter transfer window approaches. Balde, who has yet to play this season, finds himself lower in the pecking order under Barcelona manager Hansi Flick. After making 42 appearances last season, his lack of game time raises eyebrows given his potential value, estimated at €50 million. United's interest comes amidst challenges in the left-back position, where they currently rely on Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu. Liverpool is also considering Balde as they look to strengthen their squad.
- •Balde has not played in Barcelona's first six matches this season.
- •United added key players during the summer but did not sign a left-back.
- •Balde made 42 appearances for Barcelona last season, totaling 2795 minutes.
- •Reports suggest Liverpool is also interested in Balde.
- •Balde has two years left on his Barcelona contract.
