for Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella as they chase a new left back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Blues have entered talks with the Red Devils over the deal, but are looking for a \u00a35m loan fee for their Spanish defender.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>United have been on the search for a new left back, with Luke Shaw set for an extended period of time on the sidelines with a muscle injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tyrell Malacia, another alternative option in the position is also out injured, leaving 20-year-old\u00a0Alvaro Fernandez as United\u2019s only recognised left back option at the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Diogo Dalot was deployed at left-back in Saturday&#8217;s 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest, but United are keen to find a short-term back-up for Shaw before Friday&#8217;s transfer

the transfer window closes on Friday\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Cucurella is viewed as the top candidate by United because it&#8217;s believed he would most suit Erik ten Hag&#8217;s system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish international is yet to play a single Premier League minute so far this season, having been an unused sub in Chelsea&#8217;s first three games and is behind Ben Chilwell in Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He arrived in west London in a \u00a355m deal from Brighton in 2022, and played 33 games in Chelsea&#8217;s turbulent campaign last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>United have turned to Cucurella after Marcus Alonso reportedly turned down a loan move to Old Trafford as he wants to remain at Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham\u2019s Sergio Reguilon and Brentford&#8217;s Rico Henry could also be possible alternatives, with Mail Sport reporting on Monday that United had made initial checks into Henry&#8217;s availability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old missed just three Premier League games last season and is seen as consistently impressive performer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, it is believed it would be difficult to lure Henry out of Brentford this late in the window, and his arrival would come at a significant cost.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
