Manchester United Ahead in Miguel Gutierrez Race

Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez, with Erik ten Hag keen to bolster his options at left-back. Injuries to Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw last season left the Red Devils vulnerable, prompting the Dutch manager to seek a reliable addition.

Gutierrez, 22, has impressed in La Liga and attracted significant interest, including from Real Madrid. However, Fichajes suggests United are currently in pole position. Negotiations with Girona might be challenging, considering Real Madrid’s 50% sell-on clause in Gutierrez’s contract. This clause allows the Spanish giants to secure the full-back at half the price United would need to pay.

Real Madrid’s potential pursuit of Gutierrez as an alternative to Alphonso Davies adds complexity. If Madrid opts to bring him back, United’s chances diminish significantly. For now, United hope to secure the talented left-back and strengthen their defensive lineup ahead of the new season.
