Having endured a difficult past few weeks, the March international break might be doing Manchester United a favour.
Young star Facundo Pellistri, spending a mixed season on loan at Spanish side Deportivo Alves, will inadvertently be taking a look at one of the Red Devils' transfer targets, Ronald Araujo, while the pair are together on international duty for Uruguay. The versatile Barcelona defender has recently been linked with a move to Old Trafford, with his contract expiring in June 2023.
Araujo is a graduate of the famous La Masia academy in Catalonia and recently became staple of Xavi Hernandez 's resurgent Barca, notably scoring a bullet header in their 4-0 thrashing of rivals Real Madrid in El Clasico on Sunday. Despite being a centre-back by trade, the 23-year-old's stock has risen dramatically over the past few weeks while playing at right-back.
