# Manchester United consider move for Joan Sastre

Manchester United are reportedly lining up a move for promising young defender, Joan Sastre.

The 21-year-old has established himself as an integral part of Real Mallorca’s first-team and played a key role as the club secured their promotion to Segunda A in recent times.

Sastre’s form has not gone unnoticed, either, with claims from Spanish news outlet [Sport](https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/manchester-united-are-interested-in-real-mallorcas-joan-sastre-6898712) indicating that a host of clubs from the top divisions of European football are interested in acquiring him this summer.

Manchester United are named as a potential destination for Sastre, but Barcelona are also said to have expressed an interest in the promising defender, who is known to operate at right-back primarily.

The Red Devils recently landed FC Porto defender Diogo Dalot, who is a similarly promising player and also plays on the right-hand side of defence.

However, it seems United are continuing to plan for the future and have identified Sastre as a potential signing. A stay in Spain may be on the cards, though, with Barca and Real Madrid also reportedly keen.
