Man Utd transfer push takes new twist as Ruben Amorim intervenes in £38m race

Manchester United reportedly face competition from AC Milan and former manager Ruben Amorim to sign Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde. United tracked Balde throughout the summer window but failed to secure a deal, while Milan are now preparing to pursue the defender in January.

Barcelona previously valued Balde at approximately €45 million (£38.6 million) for a permanent transfer. The Spanish international is reportedly outside manager Hansi Flick's plans, attracting further interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Inter Milan.
