Manchester United’s efforts to secure the services of Villarreal’s left-back Alfonso Pedraza have been met with a rejection from the Spanish club. The situation has arisen due to the absence of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, both sidelined due to injuries, prompting Manchester United to actively seek a left full-back solution. In addition to considering Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella as a potential option, Manchester United reportedly approached Villarreal with an offer to acquire Alfonso Pedraza on loan. However, these attempts have been met with resistance, according to information from Marca.
In the broader context, Villarreal highly values the 27-year-old full-back as a crucial component of their squad. This stance is reflected in their unwavering decision not to permit his departure during this summer’s transfer window. Alfonso Pedraza’s significance was highlighted by his contributions during the recent exhilarating clash between Villarreal and Barcelona, where he provided two assists in a dramatic 4-3 encounter favoring the Catalan side.
