Manchester United have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Alejandro Balde.

The 22-year-old Barcelona defender has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, and the Spanish champions are prepared to let him leave the club.

Alejandro Balde could join Manchester United

According to Fabrizio Romano, the player has been omitted from the matchday squad against Elche, and he will have the opportunity to leave the club before the end of the window.

Manchester United need more depth in the left-back department, and the 22-year-old could be a handy option for them. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could help them at both ends of the pitch. Apart from being a reliable defender, he can be quite effective going forward. He could add a new dimension to the Manchester United attack.

Luke Shaw is in the twilight stages of his career and Manchester United need to plan for the future. Balde could be an interesting option for them. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done.
