Manchester United are “big favourites” for Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez after making “irresistible” offer | OneFootball

Manchester United are reportedly clear favourites to sign Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez after making him an incredible financial offer.

The Red Devils are on the hunt for a left back as both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have suffered immensely from serious injuries over the last season and a half.

United have been linked to numerous left backs such as former player Alvaro Fernandez Carreras, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Milos Kerkez.

The side from Old Trafford have been regularly linked to Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez over the last few months and it has been reported that the Spaniard has now asked to leave the club.

Reports from Spain via F365 now claim that United have taken a big lead in the race for the talented 23 year old.

They report that Ruben Amorim’s search for a left wing back to fit into his 3-4-3 formation has led him to the doors of the Catalan club.

Allegedly, United “have already started the first contacts for him to leave Girona, and the conversations would be really advanced for him to end up in the Premier League in January.”

Numerous teams such as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are said to be keen on the player but it is United who right now are “the big favourites.”

Amorim’s side have supposedly turned the player’s head with an “irresistible” financial offer.

Interestingly, they also claim that the Red Devils have “also guaranteed Miguel that he will be an undisputed starter, and that he will have a very ambitious project at Old Trafford.”

The reports also claim that whilst his release clause is €35 million, United “can pay without any problem”, despite it being a “significant” amount.

Gutierrez would certainly add a whole new attacking dimension to United’s left hand side and would likely fit the all-action style of fullback that Amorim is searching for.

Moreover, whilst United have their own financial restrictions with PSR, €35 million for one of their top targets in a position of such importance in Amorim’s system, would surely represent good value for money.
