Manchester United Now “confident” in signing a player to strengthen a priority position early in the January transfer window, journalist Chris Winterburn outlines the players they could sign.
Amorim wants Manchester United to bring in new left-back
Ruben Amorim appears to have decided that signing a new left-back is his priority this January and beyond, having previously done so on a number of occasions urge United officials stepped up efforts in that area of the stadium.

With Luke Shaw struggling with injury and Diogo Dalot filling in for his unnatural side, it makes sense that Amorim would be keen to bring in a more capable option this winter.
Theo Hernandez Having fallen down the pecking order with AC Milan, the Red Devils are now ready to plot a move for the 27-year-old, while they are also keen to win over the competition for the out-of-pocket Bayern Munich player Alphonso Davis.
Both Davies and Hernandez are among the top players in European football, meaning interest in him is likely to be high, leaving the possibility of United moving on to a more unknown option.
Winterbourne has now provided an update on Amorim’s pursuit of a left-back, with Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez as a target in what could be a more financially prudent deal. The reporter said that Manchester United is confident of signing a left-back at the beginning of the winter window.
Gutierrez impresses for Girona
Gutierrez has certainly caught the attention of La Liga side Girona, especially in attack, ranking No. 94th percentile Per 90 assists over the past year compared to peers at his position.
U23 scout Antonio Mango was full of praise for the Spaniard last season, claiming he was one of the best players in La Liga:
The 23-year-old has become an important player for the Spanish club over the past few seasons and has added to his experience by playing competitive matches six This season he has played 5 times in the Champions League and 5 times for the national team.
Girona should still be able to command a hefty transfer fee for Gutierrez this winter given his talent, especially since he is contracted until the summer of 2027, but if United can orchestrate a deal , he could be an excellent signing for Manchester United.
