MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly plotting a late move for Barcelona star Sergino Dest.
And if they managed to land the right-back, Erik ten Hag will then sanction an exit for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Sky Sports claims United are preparing for a flurry of transfer activity ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
The Red Devils today confirmed the £85.5million arrival of Brazilian forward Antony from Ajax.
And United are also thought to be in the market for a new striker as Cristiano Ronaldo continues to push for an exit.
But Ten Hag is focusing on signing a right-back too.

But he is now targeting Dest to bring more speed and attacking intent down the right flank.
The duo worked together at Ajax during the 2019/20 campaign before Dest was snapped up by Barca.
However, the 21-year-old is now up for sale as the Spaniards look to raise funds.

And United are considering a swoop before linked clubs – including league rivals Chelsea – make their move.

Wan-Bissaka cost United £50million to sign from Crystal Palace three years ago.
And the Eagles are bidding to bring him back to Selhurst Park.
