FC Barcelona needs to sell and Manchester United needs to shield its defense for the season 2022/17 that has already started. The name of the American Sergiño Dest appears in the redar at the last minute as a possible target for Erik ten Hag to reinforce his right back.
It is a fact that Xavi Hernández does not have the services of Dest to capture his project and has not put him to see minutes in the first three games of the league season. A clear message for him, who is looking for minutes in the World Cup year and wants to be the protagonist with his team.
Sky Sports News reported in the morning this Tuesday that the board of the Red Devils is “exploring the possibility of a late agreement for Sergiño Dest.” Much will have to do with the will of coach ten Hag who already had him at Ajax and knows him well.
In this sense, in Manchester they are also looking for a way out for full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka before the market closes to make a offer form by Dest. United, which has already signed Lisandro Martínez, Casemiro and is about to announce the Brazilian Antony, also from Ajax, for a figure close to $100 million dollars.
Dest was trained at Ajax, went through their training categories, played 38 duels in the first team and then made the leap to FC Barcelona. With the Catalans he has played 79 times, scored three goals and distributed five assists.
Recently in The Spanish media revealed that Villarreal CF was interested in Dest, but the player’s entourage stated that it was not the objective. They were going to wait for a great offer and that seems to be the one Manchester United would put up.
While in the Stars and Stripes team he has scored two goals in 17 games. It is key in Gregg Berhalter’s scheme.
