Question marks are still hanging over the futures of Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire, so speculation was that another defender may come in for cover.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the club is still considering the possibility of bringing in a low-cost left-footed center-back to serve as cover for Lisandro Martinez.
Manchester United have ‘spoken to the agents’ of Mario Hermoso
The Red Devils could still add a left-footed defender before the transfer window shuts, and Mario Hermoso remains among the options, according to Romano.
Manchester United have initiated contact with the representatives of a Spanish player, who recently became a free agent after departing Atlético Madrid at the conclusion of his contract.
Despite having secured deals for Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, Erik ten Hag is still focused on resolving the ongoing issues in the left-back position.
With both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia unavailable for United’s upcoming season opener against Fulham, the club may need to rely on Lisandro Martínez or Mazraoui to cover the left flank.
Speaking to GiveMeSport, Fabrizio Romano revealed that United have spoken with Mario Hermoso’s agents, but nothing is advanced yet:
“In terms of left-footed player to add in defence, there are still some some opportunities.
“They spoke to the agents of Mario Hermoso, but at the moment, still nothing advanced.
“He’s still available as a free agent. So Mario Hermoso would love to go to Manchester United.”
According to Fabrizio Romano, United continues to be in the running to sign Mario Hermoso, with the 29-year-old currently considering various options for his next career move.
The versatile defender, primarily known for his role as a central back, has also shown his capabilities on the left side of the defense.
Over the course of five years with Atlético Madrid, Hermoso has made 20 appearances as a left-back, showcasing his adaptability and value as a player in multiple defensive positions.
