Manchester United are in need of defensive reinforcements in their push for a Champions League spot in 2016/17; and it’d be quite a shock move if it comes off.
Louis van Gaal is without Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia for the foreseeable future – so he wants to bring in Mathieu Debuchy from Arsenal, according to Kieran Gill of the Daily Mail
The Frenchman is second choice to young Spaniard Hector Bellerin for Arsenal’s right-back spot and will be wanting more playing time in the hope of making France’s European Championship this summer.
With Ashley Young also out for at least a month and Darmian out injured at the moment, United are left with Guillermo Varela and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson as their available full-backs – so Debuchy coming in as at least some cover could be a good idea.
The Mail claim that Wenger is happy to let the French defender leave on a short-term loan.
