Manchester United could address two squad concerns in a single January transfer move, according to a report from The Peoples Person published on November 3, 2026. The outlet suggests a swap deal involving Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde could provide a solution for the Red Devils.
The 21-year-old Spanish international has established himself as a regular at Camp Nou, but speculation over his future has intensified amid Barcelona's financial constraints. United, meanwhile, are seeking reinforcements at left-back and potentially in midfield, with the report indicating Balde's arrival could address both needs.
No official bid has been confirmed, and any deal would likely depend on player valuations and willingness from both clubs. The January window opens in less than two months, giving both sides time to evaluate their options.
