Real Sociedad star Robin Le Normand has emerged as a ‘new wish’ for Manchester United, according to Fichajes.net.

The centre-back has impressed for the Spanish club in the league and Champions League this season, and that hasn’t gone unnoticed with other European clubs.

Manchester United have joined the chase for the 26-year-old and it’s even claimed they are one of the clubs best positioned to sign him.

Fichajes.net state Erik ten Hag’s side are urgently looking to bolster their defence, more so if Harry Maguire were to make a move elsewhere.

This is where the Spain international would fit in, and could compliment both Raphaël Varane and Lisandro Martínez.

Along with the Premier League side, Real Madrid are also in the picture to sign the player, and the report states they have identified him as a defensive target for next summer.

Le Normand has a deal until 2026 and with these two clubs likely to compete for his signature, at least according to the report, it’s stated his ‘future is full of possibilities’.

Fichajes.net don’t mention if Manchester United have a desire to sign the player in January or next summer. If it’s the former, it wouldn’t make sense for them to create an urgent need to strengthen the defence by offloading Maguire.

It remains to be seen if this claim will be backed up other outlets in Spain or England.
