Manchester United have versatile Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella on their transfer radar before the impending deadline at 11pm on Friday night.
The 25-year-old former Barcelona and Brighton man has been earmarked as the preferred option to replenish the United squad after Luke Shaw picked up a muscular injury.
Tyrell Malacia - the other senior left-back on the books - has not featured since last season and his return is still weeks away.
Shaw is expected to be sidelined for at least two months. United have opened up discussions with Chelsea over bringing Cucurella to Old Trafford on a temporary basis.
