Miguel Gutierrez is rumoured to be a transfer target for Man United. Ratcliffe and his army of recently appointed executives are expected to oversee a busy transfer window at Old Trafford, with the INEOS chief having already started implementing plans.
With Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox already through the Old Trafford door, and negotiations for Dan Ashworth in full swing, Ratcliffe’s off-field vision is taking shape. One name attracting attention from the 20-time English champions is Girona ace Miguel Gutierrez. The 22-year-old has shone for the La Liga outfit this season, with Girona on the brink of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
Ironically, prospective employers United aren’t expected to be involved in the Champions League, but that hasn’t stopped transfer speculation from growing. As per GIVEMESPORT, Gutierrez is a player of interest for United, with a move to the Premier League giant being mooted. However, Ratcliffe and co. could face one major problem – Girona’s owners.

Girona are part owned by the City Football Group – a network of clubs across the world all owned by the Manchester City hierarchy.
As a result, for United to land Gutierrez, they might need to land a favour from the City owners, who will likely have to sanction the deal. It comes amid what’s expected to be a summer shake-up for United, specifically in defensive areas. The Red Devils could be dealt a transfer boost before the window even opens, with reported target Tosin Adarabioyo likely to become a free agent this summer.
As per Fabrizio Romano, the ex-Manchester City man – who has been linked to Old Trafford in the past – has rejected contract offers from Fulham and will instead leave the club for nothing in June.
