Manchester United are ready to find a right-back replacement to replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka

DBasia.news – Manchester United has been kept busy ahead of the 2022 summer transfer window. The Reds Devils still lack enough players in every position such as midfielders, attackers, and also right-back.

Urgency for new signings was needed after two successive Premier League defeats against Brighton & Hove Albion (1-2) and Brentford (0-4). Weaknesses in the three areas were evident from the two defeats.

The front line is dull, the midfield can’t control the ball well and set the rhythm of the game, and at right-back there is no clear contribution either in defense or up to help attack.

At right-back Man United had two defenders, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot, but neither of them was good enough to carry out the football instructions that Erik ten Hag was trying to play.

Judging from the information published from several sources recently, there are two names associated with Man United, namely Thomas Meunier (Borussia Dortmund) and Sergino Dest (Barcelona).

Meunier (30 years) has a contract at Dortmund until 2024 and is priced at around 10 million euros. He is an experienced full-back and also has quality in attack, his height is also ideal for the Premier League. But Dortmund’s sporting director, Sebastien Kehl has no intention of selling him.

“We currently see no reason to sell him (Meunier). It’s not in our plans,” said Kehl.

As for Dest (21 years), Barcelona did not mind selling him because they wanted to balance the balance sheet and reduce expenses from player salaries. Dest originally wanted to stay, but Barcelona were open to offers.

“Barcelona are not negotiating with Man United for Dalot, while the Meunier deal is still relatively quiet. Juan Foyth, the favorite option but negotiations are still in the early stages with Villarreal. It will take time. Dest wants to stay – but Barca hopes Premier League clubs can attract his attention, “explained transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
