In parallel to their pursuit of Gutierrez, Manchester United is also navigating potential departures in defense. Turkish publication A Spor suggests, Lindelof has caught the attention of Galatasaray as a prime target in the transfer window. The 29-year-old Swedish international, who joined United from Benfica in 2017, has one year remaining on his contract.
