Barcelona ace working on loan exit to Manchester United

Sergino Dest has been a hot topic in the transfer market lately, with Barcelona keen on sanctioning his exit in an attempt to free up space in the first team and sign a new right-back.

However, the club have not had much luck in finding suitors for Dest. The player has struggled to impress the onlookers, including Xavi Hernandez and it appears his lack of progress has not gone unnoticed.

That said, Manchester United have emerged as a potential contender for Dest lately. The Premier League giants are reportedly considering signing the American international, as part of their plan to add more competition for Diogo Dalot.

According to Ferran Martinez, Dest himself is prepared to join Manchester United on a loan deal. He is keen on teaming up with Erik ten Hag once again and rekindling his old form, after a disastrous spell at Camp Nou.

Ten Hag had played a key role in giving Dest his professional breakthrough at Ajax. But after the pair separated, the defender was never able to fulfil his potential.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are still yet to find a solution for Dest. Although the player is ready to join Man United, the Catalans have not received any proposal. They are only expected to settle for a swap deal involving Diogo Dalot.

However, that is almost impossible as Manchester United consider Dalot a first-choice option at right-back in the new season. The Red Devils have not had much luck with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and the Ivorian will not be considered a trusted option for ten Hag anytime soon.

In light of all this, it appears there is a significant possibility of Dest remaining at Barcelona beyond the summer transfer window, though that is unlikely to deter the Catalans from signing a new face in the right-back position by the end of the month.
