Arrangements made on Wednesday morning: The late lunge that Man United made to acquire a defender for £50 million was successful today, and Erik Ten Hag is scheduled to make the announcement about the player in five hours.

United are searching for a left-back as the transfer window closes and have several targets in mind.

**United Contact Roma About Spinazzola**

Spinazzola is the latest name linked to United’s pursuit of a left-back before the transfer window ends.

Di Marzio reported on his website that United have inquired about Spinazzola. No negotiations have been reported yet, but the 20-time Premier League champions want to stay informed about the player in case they decide to pursue the Italian international in the final days of the transfer window.

The 30-year-old is a recent addition to United’s list of targets as a short-term solution to their left-back issues.

United currently lack a senior left-back due to Luke Shaw’s muscle injury, which has sidelined him for an extended period, and Tyrell Malacia’s injury.

The club is evaluating multiple options to cover the left full-back position, including Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham, and Barcelona’s Marcos Alonso. Nicolas Tagliafico is also a recent name under consideration, with reports indicating that Manchester United have advanced with a loan offer to Olympique Lyon.

**What Kind of Player Is Spinazzola?**

The Italian full-back is a rare example of a right-footed player playing as a left-back.

Spinazzola, formerly of Juventus, is known for his athleticism and physical traits. He is quick and robust for a full-back. His dribbling ability and tendency to make attacking runs on the left flank make him a significant threat going forward. The prospect of his partnership with Marcus Rashford will undoubtedly excite Old Trafford fans.

His pace will add fluidity to the attack, enabling Rashford to drift infield and continue his goalscoring exploits from last season. While Spinazzola sometimes struggles defensively, he compensates with his offensive contributions.
