MANCHESTER UNITED are interested in Brighton defender Pervis Estupinan, according to reports.
Ruben Amorim is looking to overhaul his squad this summer after a woeful season that saw the Red Devils finish in their lowest ever position of 15th.
Journalist Ben Jacobs claims United have enquired about Estupinan as they look to bolster options at left-wing-back.
The 27-year-old featured 30 times for Brighton this season, scoring once and assisting another.
It is currently unclear whether the Seagulls are open to selling the Ecuadorian or what fee they may demand.
Estupinan’s contract on the south coast does not expire until the summer of 2027.
But some United fans are not happy about the rumours and claim they do not need a new left-wing-back.
Patrick Dorgu was signed in January for £25million and teenager Diego Leon joins this summer from Cerro Porteno in Paraguay for a reported £7m.
Meanwhile, the likes of Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui and youngster Harry Amass have also filled in there.
One supporter wrote: “Why are we even looking at left wing-backs. The last position we need signings for.”
Another added: “We have Dorgu and Leon already. Concentrate on key positions which is striker, forwards, central midfield and a goalkeeper.”
A third commented: “Definitely bigger priorities. Plenty of cover in that area, best keep the money for elsewhere.”
But others disagreed, saying: “Would be a decent rotation option with Dorgu.”
Though departures are currently the focus at Old Trafford as club chiefs are set for talks with Real Betis over Antony next week.
And Bruno Fernandes is said to be “giving serious consideration” to a mega-money move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.
