Manchester United have started the new season without a specialist left-back in their starting line up.
Both their left-backs, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, are out with fitness issues.
Shaw is expected to make a comeback from his injury next month while Malacia is expected to return in October.
Erik ten Hag has used right-back Diogo Dalot in the left-back position to start the season but sooner or later, a reliable and natural left-footed defender is needed at the club for the balance of the side.
According to Fichajes, Man United are considering a late move for Girona left-back Miguel Gutierrez.
He was impressive for Girona last season and helped the La Liga team qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
