Manchester United monitors Atletico Madrid defender Marc Pubill

Manchester United is tracking the progress of Atletico Madrid defender Marc Pubill to address ongoing defensive concerns. While the club currently utilizes Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, and Leny Yoro in the right-back role, recent performances have prompted interest in reinforcements. Pubill, who joined Atletico Madrid from Almeria in 2025, made 36 appearances during his first season with the club. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are also reportedly monitoring the 23-year-old. Atletico Madrid considers the defender a key part of its long-term strategy and would reportedly require a fee between 55 million and 60 million euros to consider a sale. Manchester United is expected to prioritize defensive adjustments in 2027 following a start to the season where the club conceded six goals in three matches.
