In a recent interview with Give Me Sport<\/a>, journalist Ben Jacobs stated that Manchester United have set their sights on Brighton and Hove Albion left-back Pervis Estupinan. Jacobs said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll give you a little bit of an exclusive, which is a new name \u2013 and that\u2019s Pervis Estupinan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard Manchester United made an enquiry and it surprised me, because when you talks about wing-backs or full-backs, Manchester United are well covered on that left side.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there\u2019ll always be a bit of a question mark over Luke Shaw\u2019s fitness, but remember that Diego Leon is a left-sided wing-back coming into the side too. Naturally, Dorgu was bought and he\u2019s seen more as an Amorim player \u2013 because what Amorim is looking for in his full-backs and his wingers is those that a comfortable out wide, with pace, speed of thought and speed of feet to cover other positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, Amorim\u2019s perspective of this Manchester United squad is it\u2019s not fast enough, and it\u2019s not physical enough. So, Estupinan was a name that was given to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not aware they\u2019ve made any kind of approach to Brighton at this point. I was quite surprised by it, because personally and only in my opinion, I don\u2019t see the left-back as a massive priority for Manchester United.\u201d<\/p>\n

Estupinan\u2019s Impressive Form In The Premier League<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Estupinan had a solid campaign at the American Express Community Stadium as he put in a series of impressive performances on the left side of Brighton\u2019s defence. The Ecuadorian talent registered one goal and secured one assist in 36 matches for his current employers last season across all fronts.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old\u2019s current deal at Brighton will expire in the summer of 2027. Hence, Man United would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting Estupinan this off-season.<\/p>\n

Should Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim Go For Estupinan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Estupinan is a solid tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to earn possession back for his side at the back. He usually clears his lines when needed and can strike the ball with venom from long range. Furthermore, Estupinan can deliver some good crosses from the left flank.<\/p>\n

The Ecuadorian sensation is primarily a left-back but can also operate as a left-winger if asked to do so. He is quite familiar with the Premier League<\/a> and won\u2019t take much time to adjust to life at Old Trafford if the Red Devils can devise a way to sign him this summer.<\/p>\n

We can expect Estupinan to add more quality to Man United<\/a> boss Ruben Amorim\u2019s defence. He is good enough to challenge for a regular first-team spot at the Mancunian club next season. Thus, Amorim would be wise to go for a left-back of his quality this summer.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
