Manchester United target meets club and agent as potential summer exit gathers pace

Alejandro Balde has recently been linked with Manchester United.

The 22-year-old is unlikely to start regularly for Barcelona, and he is expected to move this summer.

Alejandro Balde could join Manchester United

The player and his agent, Jorge Mendes, recently met with the Spanish club to discuss a potential move. Jijantes have now shared footage (h/t SportWitness) of the player leaving after a meeting with Barcelona.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United decide to make a move for the player now. They need a younger alternative to Luke Shaw, and Balde would be a handy option. He has the technical attributes to do well in England, and he could be a long-term asset for the Red Devils.

Manchester United need more quality in the team, and a left-back would be a wise addition.

Balde could be excited about the possibility of joining Manchester United as well. It would be a step up for him, and he might be able to play regularly.

Barcelona could be open to selling the player if the right offer is presented. Manchester United have the finances to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer.

Balde could be a long-term asset

Balde is a young player with a lot of potential, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. If he manages to adapt to English football quickly, he could be an asset for Manchester United.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils have also been linked with players like Jorge Salinas, Lewis Hall and Joquin Seys. Signing a left-back seems like a priority for the Red Devils, and it remains to be seen who they end up with.
