Manchester United continue to monitor Alejandro Balde

Alejandro Balde could leave FC Barcelona as early as the next winter transfer window. According to Mundo Deportivo, as reported by Transfery.info, Manchester United are closely monitoring the situation of the Spanish full-back, whose playing time has decreased significantly since the start of the season.

Balde struggling under Flick

Long considered a regular starter at FC Barcelona, Alejandro Balde is going through a difficult period. The 22-year-old defender has fallen down the pecking order established by Hansi Flick, who now has several options at left-back. In the first eight matches of the season, the player developed at La Masia played just 12 minutes, during Barça’s 7-2 victory over Racing Santander.

Hansi Flick has also discussed the difficulties his player is facing in progressing, both in training and in matches. The German coach is relying on competition to improve his team’s level, but Balde is currently suffering the consequences.

Manchester United monitoring his situation

The drop in playing time could prompt the Spanish full-back to think about his future. According to Mundo Deportivo, Manchester United remain attentive to his situation and could prepare an offer for the January transfer window.

The Red Devils’ interest will nevertheless depend on how the player’s situation develops over the coming weeks. If Balde continues to lack playing time, the prospect of a departure could become more significant. The coming weeks could therefore prove decisive in determining whether the defender will continue his career at Barça or consider a new challenge in the Premier League.
