Manchester United has set its sights on Pervis Estupiñán as one of the key pieces to renew its defensive line for the upcoming season. The Ecuadorian, currently with Brighton, is on the "Red Devils" agenda as a solid and promising alternative to strengthen the left side of the defense amid a reconstruction process led by the club's sporting direction.
Estupiñán has had a notable evolution in English football since his arrival at Brighton, establishing himself as a reliable full-back both defensively and offensively. His performance in the Premier League has attracted the attention of several top clubs, but United's interest seems to be the strongest so far. The defender played 30 matches in the most recent season and has been a key figure in the structure of the southern team.
Manchester United wants to sign Pervis Estupiñan
If his move to Old Trafford materializes, Estupiñán would become the second Ecuadorian to wear the United shirt, following in the footsteps of Antonio Valencia, who left an indelible mark after a decade at the club and multiple titles in his trophy cabinet.
The left-back, groomed at Liga de Quito, has experience in various European leagues after stints at clubs like Osasuna, Mallorca, Udinese, and Valencia, giving him an international profile that aligns with United's standards.
As the English team progresses in planning its summer market, Estupiñán's name is gaining more strength as a priority addition. His signing would not only represent a strategic reinforcement but also a commitment to solidity and experience in one of Manchester's weakest areas.
