Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a loan move for Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde this winter.
The Red Devils are likely to bolster their squad in January, and reports claim that a new left-back could be prioritised.
Luke Shaw has been injury-prone throughout the campaign and could be released when his contract expires next summer.
Patrick Dorgu is the backup behind the Englishman, but the Dane has been more reliable as a winger with little defensive duties.
Dorgu has not been convincing with his positioning at the back and United may want a new left-back at the start of the year.
Balde was under United's consideration last summer, but he ended up staying put with Barcelona beyond the deadline.
He has since played only 120 minutes of first-team football and he is now willing to consider a new challenge elsewhere.
United are still said to be among his admirers and could propose a short-term loan with an option to buy next summer.
