Sir Jim Ratcliffe to sell Ten Hag signing and gift Man United exciting Girona Left back despite strong Arsenal interest

According to sources, Manchester United have intensified their interest in Miguel Gutierrez, a talented player from Girona, and are aiming to outperform Arsenal in securing the 22-year-old’s services this summer.


Gutierrez is an ex-Spain U21 player who has the ability to perform as a left-back or alternatively in a more forward position as a left midfielder.

He was born in Madrid and later joined the Getafe junior academy before being signed by Real Madrid as a teenager.



Gutierrez was eventually promoted to Madrid’s senior squad in 2022, but he only played in 10 matches for the Spanish giants before departing that summer.


 

Girona, another team in La Liga, acquired him for a mere €4m, and that trade has turned out to be a brilliant move.

The dynamic winger has scored one goal and provided six assists in 33 games for Girona this season, contributing to their unexpected challenge for the La Liga championship.

Girona has dropped in the rankings, now trailing both Madrid and Barcelona. However, they still maintain a higher position than other prominent clubs like Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club, and Valencia.

Gutierrez’s tenure at Girona may be short-lived, as prominent teams are eagerly vying for his talents.

Manchester United’s interest in him became apparent during the January transfer window. However, on March 7, Arsenal received support to thwart Man Utd’s transfer intentions by securing his services before them.

Manchester United is interested in signing Miguel Gutierrez.

Both Manchester United and Arsenal have recently conducted scouting on the full-back, and the scouts have provided highly positive feedback.

However, Ratcliffe is prepared to utilize his substantial financial resources to assist Manchester United in securing the much sought-after Spanish player.

The potential acquisition of Gutierrez by Manchester United may indicate the conclusion of Tyrell Malacia’s tenure in England. Erik ten Hag advocated for Manchester United to acquire the services of the Dutch left-back during the summer of 2022. However, the player has been unable to participate in any matches this season owing to a severe knee injury.

Due to Luke Shaw’s prolonged absence due to injury, Ten Hag has been had to deploy substitutes such as Diogo Dalot and Victor Lindelof in the left-back position.

Ratcliffe aims to resolve the ongoing issues at left-back for Manchester United by facilitating the acquisition of Gutierrez’s signature.

It is worth noting that Gutierrez may potentially complete another deal before joining Manchester United in the summer.

The report details Madrid’s possession of a buy-back clause for the player, valued at a mere €8m (£6.8m).
