The 29-year-old defender, who started out his career with Estudiantes, joined Man United from Sporting in a €20 million in 2014 during Louis van Gaal’s spell as Red Devils boss. However, he has found himself frozen out of the first team in recent times, and came close to joining Everton in the summer.
Having slipped down the pecking order under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he has seen just nine appearances in the 2019-20 campaign. The most recent of those came back in November, appearing as a last-minute substitute in a 3-1 win over Brighton, while he has not started a Premier League game since the 1-1 draw with Liverpool in October.
