Manchester United have sent scouts to watch Alvaro Carreras in action as they continue to look for a left-back option this month.
According to Record, Manchester United are strongly considering Alvaro Carreras as they continue to look for a new left-back option this month. The Benfica star was a former Red Devil star, and has impressed during his time at the Portuguese side, as scouts will be present to watch him in action this weekend.
Manchester United are highly active in this window, and signing a new left-back is high on their list of priorities. Ruben Amorim is keen to evolve with his style at the club, which involves using a back three and wing-backs, as he does not have the right profiles to play in those wide areas.
For instance, Amorim has been using Diogo Dalot, a natural right-back on the left wing, while Noussair Mazraoui has occupied the role on the opposite flank. Hence, the manager wants immediate reinforcements in at least one of those flanks, with the club seemingly looking to strengthen the left-hand side.
They have chased Patrick Dorgu in the last many days and have come to a turning point in the pursuit. Manchester United have reportedly offered a €30 million package to US Lecce, with personal terms, not an issue, but the Italian side is reluctant to accept the offer.
Hence, Manchester United have already begun looking for alternatives to Dorgu, as former star Alvaro Carreras is emerging as a target. Amorim has been looking at the Benfica star, and now the club have sent scouts to watch him in action as Benfica takes on Casa Pia in Liga Portugal. It might be an indication that the club are open to taking their pursuit of the left-back ahead, as a move is possible in the coming period.
Manchester United have an advantage in Alvaro Carreras’s chase
Carreras was previously on the books of Manchester United, as they had inserted a buy-back clause worth €20 million while selling the defender for a sum of €6 million or so. Hence, the Red Devils have a massive advantage in the chase for a player who has a €50 million release clause that activates next summer.
The €20 million-rated defensive target could be the one that may end up suiting Manchester United from a sporting and financial standpoint. They might still wait on US Lecce’s final decision on Dorgu, although it appears Carreras is their main alternative to the Danish international.
