Man Utd at risk of being frozen out as Barcelona propose transfer swap deal

Barcelona are threatening Erik ten Hag 's chances of signing a new right-back for Manchester United after proposing a swap deal involving two of his targets.

The La Liga giants have reportedly offered Sergino Dest to Borussia Dortmund in exchange for Thomas Meunier, two players who've both been linked with moves to Old Trafford this summer. After failing to sign Cesar Azpilicueta, Barcelona are believed to have identified Meunier as the next suitable replacement for Dest, who Xavi Hernandez is happy to offload but yet to find a buyer for.

United States international Dest, 21, has spent two years at the Camp Nou after earning his stripes at Ajax under Ten Hag. Meunier, meanwhile, left Paris Saint-Germain for Dortmund in the summer of 2020 and was a target for Barcelona as far back as January, according to Sport.
