What happened. Manchester United are targeting Alejandro Balde as a left-back option, and the Barcelona defender has reportedly given a green light to a transfer.

• United see Lewis Hall as ideal but Newcastle demand over £68m.
• Balde has fallen out of favour under Hansi Flick due to competition and injuries.
• The 22-year-old came through Barcelona's youth academy in 2021.

United may pursue Balde as a cheaper alternative if Newcastle refuse to lower Hall's price.
