Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Racing Santander defender Jorge Salinas for a reported fee of £16 million, according to The Athletic journalist Laurie Whitwell featured on Football Talk. This potential deal aligns with the club’s efforts under Carrick to address key issues within their squad structure and depth at left-back.
A primary motivation cited in this report concerns Luke Shaw's fitness record since his transfer from Southampton to Old Trafford. Despite facing numerous problems over the years, Shaw remains United's first-choice player, prompting a search for potential reinforcements like Salinas who could provide long-term stability. Additionally, Patrick Dorgu was noted as being purchased from Lecce with potential value in mind.
