Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Girona leftback Miguel Gutierrez for a potential PS22million January transfer

The club may need to strengthen at leftback after Sergio Reguilon's loan was cut short and other defenders have faced fitness issues

British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe is preparing to begin his job behind the scenes at Old Trafford, as pressure mounts on manager Erik ten Hag

Manchester United are said to be keeping an eye on Girona leftback Miguel Gutierrez ahead of a possible PS22 million transfer in January. This comes as the club looks to strengthen their defense following the early return of Sergio Reguilon's loan and ongoing fitness issues with other defenders. Reports suggest that scouts have been watching Gutierrez closely this season, impressed by his attacking style and performances for Girona.

Gutierrez has been in excellent form during Girona's remarkable campaign, catching the attention of top clubs like Manchester United. The 22yearold, who came through Real Madrid's academy before joining Girona in 2022, has also attracted interest from former Red Devils star Daley Blind among others.

Meanwhile, British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe is set to take up a key role at Old Trafford following INEOS' acquisition of a 25% stake in the club. This development comes amidst mounting pressure on manager Erik ten Hag over poor results in both domestic and European competitions.

As United continue their pursuit of reinforcements in defense and prepare for changes behind the scenes, all eyes will be on how these developments impact their performance on the field.
