Manchester United has decided to intensify their search for a left-back and has shifted their focus to Pervis Estupiñán. The Ecuadorian from Brighton has become a top priority for the Red Devils, who aim to strengthen that flank following Luke Shaw's physical concerns and the youth of Patrick Dorgu and Diego León. Despite investing in the attack with the arrival of Matheus Cunha and the ongoing negotiations for Bryan Mbeumo, the defensive market has now taken center stage at Old Trafford.
Estupiñán, at 27 years old and with over a hundred Premier League appearances, is seen as a reliable option for Ruben Amorim's system, which requires full-backs with offensive projection. Brighton, on the other hand, is willing to negotiate his departure, especially after the signing of Maxim De Kuyper from Club Brugge to fill that position.
Manchester United wants to sign Pervis Estupiñán
Manchester United is not the only club interested in the Ecuadorian. AC Milan has also expressed interest in signing him as a replacement for Theo Hernández, who recently moved to Al-Hilal. Nevertheless, the English side has an advantage in offering him continuity in a league that Estupiñán is already familiar with and where he has established himself since his time with Villarreal.
Even though Estupiñán is under contract until 2026, Brighton might seize the opportunity to capitalize on his sale. The final decision will depend on both the economic offer presented by the Red Devils and the player's willingness, as he might see this as the ideal moment to take a career leap and join a European giant with ambitions for titles on all fronts.
