Manchester United are closely monitoring the progress of former Real Madrid full-back Miguel Gutierrez, with the intention of bolstering their left-back options in the January transfer window. Valued at £22 million, the 22-year-old has thrived at Girona since departing the Bernabeu in August 2022.

Gutierrez has become a mainstay in Girona’s squad, contributing significantly to their success in La Liga. In the current season, he has impressed with one goal and three assists in 20 appearances. Despite interest from various clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester United have entered the race to secure his services, aiming to address the left-back void left by the cancellation of Sergio Reguilon’s loan.

However, Financial Fair Play concerns and the possibility of Real Madrid re-signing Gutierrez at a nominal price pose challenges to Manchester United’s pursuit.

Real Madrid may also consider integrating the talented full-back into their first-team, further complicating the transfer. With competition from Chelsea and Arsenal, the outcome of Gutierrez’s potential move to Manchester United remains uncertain. The Red Devils must navigate these obstacles to secure the promising Spanish defender.
