According to Jason Burt of the Telegraph on Twitter, Manchester United could sign a right-back late in the window with both Sergino Dest and Thomas Meunier ...

He could get some playing time at United, with manager Erik ten Hag seemingly unconvinced by the options that he has right now. The Barcelona right-back has been consistently dropped by manager Xavi Hernandez this season. There’s just two days left in the transfer market and it remains to be seen if the Red Devils can sign either of the two right-backs within time.

The 21-year-old fullback, who first signed with Barcelona in 2020 for an initial fee of £20million, was previously involved in talks with Old Trafford ...

Barcelona are seeking $23million for Dest — the total amount spent by the club in 2020 to acquire him from Ajax. New boss Erik ten Hag has previously managed the Dutch-born US international at Ajax and is said to be keen for a reunion at Old Trafford. The former Ajax full-back has been linked to an array of clubs in the Premier League and LaLiga throughout the summer, though it has been said that Dest would be tempted by a late move to United, reports Signed two years ago for an initial fee of $58million and with three years left on his contract, Wan-Bissaka still has time on his hands to establish himself at the club, though he has been demoted to Diogo Dalot's backup at United. [Manchester United](/sport/teampages/manchester-united.html) could make an offer for [Barcelona](/sport/teampages/barcelona.html) and USMNT right-back Sergino Dest before the summer transfer window shuts on Thursday, as the player would be 'open' to a move to Old Trafford, according to reports. The American is deemed as surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp, and has not been involved in any of Barcelona's first three matchday squads in LaLiga so far this season — a clear sign from manager

Barcelona are eagerly trying to get rid of out-of-favour defender Sergino Dest before the transfer window slams shut in two days' time.

Barcelona would ideally want €20 million to sell Dest, but are aware that is not a realistic possibility at this stage of the transfer window. After having struggled to make an impact at United, he became the first-choice right-back during Ralf Rangnick’s tenure as interim manager and has continued to hold the position under ten Hag. However, their stance could change if Dalot was introduced into the equation.

Sergino Dest is Dutch-born and played for Erik ten Hag at Ajax, so has been targeted by Man United.

Dalot has cemented his status as first-choice right-back under Ten Hag, starting all four games so far this season. Dest has been omitted from the last two matchday squads by Barcelona coach Xavi. Promoted Stories

Wan-Bissaka follows closely behind with 1.8 successful dribbles per 90 minutes at a completion rate of 58.06%. Wan-Bissaka is second in this respect as his pass success rate of 81% was marginally higher than Dalot’s 80.2%. Dest also comes out on top for fouls drawn (1.1 per 90 minutes) ahead of both Wan-Bissaka (0.7) and Dalot (0.2). On average, Dest created 1.1 chances per 90 minutes in the league in 2021-22, which is more than Dalot (0.8) and Wan-Bissaka (0.7) could manage. Dest made 1.2 successful tackles per 90 minutes last season but Dalot (2.8) and Wan-Bissaka (2.5) both posted much higher averages. His total (2.8) betters Wan-Bissaka (1.6) and Dest (1.0). In terms of interceptions, Wan-Bissaka leads the way with 1.7 per 90 minutes. But Dalot is ahead of the other two when it comes to crossing, averaging 0.6 per 90 minutes. Dalot then finds himself at the bottom of the pile with 0.9 per 90, but he does have the best success rate (69.2%). The Barcelona right-back leads the way when it comes to dribbling, completing 2.2 successful dribbles per 90 minutes at a success rate of 56.4%. Dalot also averaged 0.7 shots per 90 minutes but Wan-Bissaka was far more hesitant in front of goal, averaging just 0.3 shots per 90. While Dest didn’t score for Barcelona in 2021-22, he still had a few attempts on goal and averaged 0.7 shots per 90 minutes.

Manchester United reportedly considering late move for Barcelona's USMNT defender Sergino Dest, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka linked to West Ham or Palace.

The late sale of Dest could be a palliative to these concerns. The Spanish league authorities initially refused to register the signings due to the club's apparent financial issues. Villarreal were also reported to be exploring a move, but Dest was not interested. Wan-Bissaka's future is also included in the Sky Sports reporting. Sky suggest that the former Crystal Palace defender would be sold in the event that Dest arrives at Old Trafford. He has yet to make an appearance this season, with Ronald Araujo preferred despite being a nominal central defender.

Turning his attention to the out-of-favour United defender, Romano said: “This means a good solution and an important transfer for Wan-Bisakka. “But it’s not easy to find a solution in just 48 hours. “But, as of today, he is out of their project and the board want him out. And United have revived their interest in the 21-year-old Dest. “For me, it is clear there will be six, seven, eight, maybe 10 new players. Before you sign those players you need to be aware how you want to play.”
