He also reported that the Red Devils were not insisting on a permanent sale, but instead preferred a loan that would see the Argentine come to Old Trafford for this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch: <\/strong>Who Manchester United Could Sign on Deadline Day with Multiple Deals Now in the Works<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DEADLINE DAY DESPERATION - What Manchester United and Erik ten Hag Need on Deadline Day\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dRomTX6ce8w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag&#8217;s side, who are also seeking a midfielder in this window, are weighing all their financial options. A potential fee as high as \u00a372 million was spent to bring Danish attacker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/37134\/12933853\/rasmus-hojlund-why-manchester-united-boss-erik-ten-hag-pushed-to-sign-72m-atalanta-striker\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ramus Hojlund<\/a> in, and now United&#8217;s coffers are running low. Spending too much for Tagliafico might not be doable.<\/p>\n<p>What may further complicate matters is the player&#8217;s wages. The Argentine reportedly earns \u00a375k per week with the Ligue 1 side. Presumably, the English team would have to cover some, if not all, of the cost as part of the loan deal.<\/p>\n<h3>Loan Deal Preference Confirmed<\/h3>\n<p>The Manchester club, as reported by Grova and now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12456289\/Man-United-considering-loan-Nicolas-Tagliafico-bid.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Daily Mail<\/a>, do not want a permanent purchase, and would much rather bring the 30-year-old to the Premier League on a loan spell. They have a list of left-backs they could fill the Shaw gap with, including Chelsea&#8217;s Marc Cucurella, but a Tagliafico loan could prove to be much easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong>\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/29\/harry-maguire-manchester-united-west-ham-expensive\/\" target=\"_self\">Too Expensive\u2019: West Ham Give Up on Player Called \u2018Top-Class\u2019 in His Position<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite that, Sergio Reguilon has been linked to an Old Trafford move, but Ten Hag has a &#8220;restricted budget&#8221; to work with. The Red Devils want a move for Tagliafico, who left Ajax for Lyon last year, &#8220;wrapped up before Friday.&#8221; according to The Daily Mail article. Financial Fair play restricts the English outfit from spending too much on their other arrivals.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United&#8217;s Season So Far<\/h3>\n<p>After three games in the Premier League, they have two wins and one loss. Close contests with Wolves and Nottingham Forest each brought three points, but their shaky defence showed that they need a player like Tagliafico to lock down their back line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/29\/manchester-united-altay-bayindir\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Player in UK\u2019: Fabrizio Romano Drops Big Man Utd Update as Next Signing Now Very Close<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A loss to Tottenham leaves the Manchester club on six points for the campaign. The season is still young, but with tougher games ahead the need to sign stars is evident every week at Old Trafford. Whether it be a loan deal or a permanent move, the left-back signing could prove crucial for Ten Hag and his chances of success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_626849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-626849\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-626849 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/1280px-Manchester_United_HDR_8051526170-300x194.jpeg\" alt=\"'Open to Selling': Journalist Reveals Manchester United Transfer Boost In Pursuit of 175k P\/W Player - Marc Cucurella\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/1280px-Manchester_United_HDR_8051526170-300x194.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/1280px-Manchester_United_HDR_8051526170-1024x662.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/1280px-Manchester_United_HDR_8051526170-768x496.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/1280px-Manchester_United_HDR_8051526170.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-626849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Steve Collis https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Manchester_United_(HDR)_(8051526170).jpg CC BY 2.0 https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An injury to Luke Shaw has caused Manchester United to enter the transfer market in search of a left-back.
