Manchester United interested in completing historic transfer deal for Atletico Madrid’s Reinildo | OneFootball

Manchester United are reportedly weighing up making a move for Atletico Madrid left-back Reinildo ahead of the summer transfer window.

The left-back position is an area of the pitch United have struggled with this season, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both struggling with long-term injuries.

Malacia hasn’t tasted even a minute of competitive action this term while Shaw – who just returned to the training pitch – has been limited to just 15 appearances across all competitions.

Erik ten Hag himself recently admitted that United could tap into the market in search of solutions at left-back.

Already, United have been linked to players such as OGC Nice’s Melvin Bard and Rayan Ait-Nouri of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

According to The Sun, the Red Devils have seemingly added Reinildo to their wishlist. Ten Hag’s side are not the only ones eyeing the Atletico Madrid star, with Aston Villa also mentioned as admirers of his.

Juventus have also been tipped as a party that could potentially enter the race to secure the full-back’s services.

The Sun reports that Reinildo is “on the radar” of United and Villa and could be obtained for a cut-price deal.

Villa have a slight advantage over United as they can offer the player Champions League football.

He only has one year left on his terms at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium and has only featured on 15 occasions for the Spanish giants since he made his return from a cruciate ligament tear sustained in February 2023.

It’s understood that a fee of £8million could get a transfer over the line.

Should United manage to land Reinildo, the switch would be a historic one as the 30-year-old would be the first star from Mozambique to play in the Premier League.
