Manchester United remains in talks with Chelsea over a loan move for left-back Marc Cucurella.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils have agreed personal terms with the Spaniard, who has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge since his \u00a362million move from Brighton last summer.<\/p>\n
Cucurella became a key target for Manchester United after their first-choice left-back Luke Shaw picked up a long-term muscular injury in training.<\/p>\n
In the absence of both Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, who is also out through injury, Alvaro Fernandez, 20, is now Manchester United\u2019s only recognised left-back option at the club.<\/p>\n
Portuguese right-back Diogo Dalot starred on the left flank against Nottingham Forest last weekend, which saw United come from two goals behind to win 3-2 at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag’s side approached Chelsea with a \u00a32.5m loan fee – but the Blues are after \u00a35m<\/p>\n
Mail Sport reported on Wednesday that the Red Devils had offered Chelsea a \u00a32.5m loan fee for Cucurella, who has yet to feature in a Premier League starting line-up under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are in the process of negotiating with United over the loan fee, which they believe should be in the region of \u00a35m.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag is hoping to add Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat to his squad before the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n
Having been hit with a\u00a0\u00a3256,000 fine for breaching UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules back in July, United are keen to land both Cucurella and Amrabat on loan rather than on expensive permanent deals.<\/p>\n
