Manchester United’s summer window has been mainly focused on reinforcing the attack with the signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo being evidence of that.

The club is looking to add a striker now with Marcus Rashford joining Barcelona on a loan-to-buy deal.

Despite these attacking additions, there has been a lack of focus on the defence.

Jonny Evans joined a management role after retiring from the club in June, and Victor Lindelof also left as a free agent.

Despite the signing of Diego Leon, the club could be set to add another possible wing-back.

Whilst Harry Amass is set to leave club this summer on loan, Patrick Dorgu has been a solid addition since joining in January, but the club could feel another left wing back could help Ruben Amorim.

One name who has been linked in recent weeks is Brighton’s Pervis Estupinan.

AC Milan are the current frontrunners, but a new update has emerged on the situation.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by Milan News, AC Milan are pushing to sign Pervis Estupinan from Brighton and Hove Albion over fears Manchester United could insert themselves in the deal and make life complicated.

The Italian team has more hope that they can close a deal because Estupinan is rumoured to have been moving to Milan and has already agreed to terms on the move.

Manchester United have been linked with a move for the defender, with contact being made previously.

He could be a great cover for Patrick Dorgu and provide some healthy competition.

His ability to deliver pinpoint crosses, combined with his work rate and tackling, makes him a valuable asset, particularly in systems that utilize width.
