Manchester United line up £17 million-rated Sergio Dest ahead of Alex Telles Sevilla loan - Paper Round

United aim to sign Dest Manchester United have been linked with a move for Barcelona full-back Sergio Dest. The transfer is put forward by The Sun given Alex Telles appears to be on his way to Sevilla (more below). The 21-year-old American international can play on the right flank but is also able to play on the opposite side.

He could cost around £17 million, and would be reunited with his former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag.

Where it would make much more sense is that Ten Hag needs a right-back.

Diogo Dalot has stagnated and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is now a drag on the team whenever he plays. Dest could help more there. Read the full story Telles set for Sevilla As mentioned above, United’s left-back Alex Telles has reportedly agreed a deal to join Sevilla on loan.

The 29-year-old Brazilian has been pictured in Seville ahead of a year-long loan deal, which will see the Spanish side pay his £90,000-a-week wages in full for the coming season, but there is no loan fee for the arrangement, and there is no option to make the deal permanent. /> Paper Round’s view: Telles was a fairly mediocre left-back in his time at United but the fact that he could not dislodge a player as disappointing as Luke Shaw tells its own story of what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick and now Erik ten Hag have made of him. If freeing up his wages allows United to bring in Dest then it is almost certainly the right decisionn.
