Man Utd eye up creative machine in new left-back pursuit

 

 

United are expected to bolster at left-back in the off-season with both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia struggling with injuries over the course of the season. 

 

Diogo Dalot has filled in well at left-back where required but Ten Hag is hoping to bring in a specialist in the position. 

 

And Gutierrez has emerged as a potential target for United with the Spaniard excelling for La Liga title contenders Girona this season. 

 

The 22-year-old has been key in their surprise push for domestic glory, returning a WhoScored rating of 6.85 in the process. 

 

Gutierrez joined Girona from Real Madrid in 2022 and has benefited from regular game time to establish himself as one of the best left-backs in Spain. 

 

 

Real Madrid do have a sell-on clause in Gutierrez, whose league form has not gone unnoticed. Indeed, no player has created more clear-cut goalscoring opportunities than the youngster (12) in Spain's top tier this term. 

 

A host of Girona stars are expected to be the subject of immense interest this summer, with Savio, Artem Dovbyk and Aleix Garcia among those linked with a move away from Girona.
