MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly plotting a late move for Barcelona star Sergino Dest.
And if they managed to land the right-back, Erik ten Hag will then sanction an exit for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Sky Sports claims United are preparing for a flurry of transfer activity ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
The Red Devils today confirmed the £85.5million arrival of Brazilian forward Antony from Ajax.
And United are also thought to be in the market for a new striker as Cristiano Ronaldo continues to push for an exit.
But Ten Hag is focusing on signing a right-back too.
Diogo Dalot has started the season as Ten Hag’s preferred choice in the role.
But he is now targeting Dest to bring more speed and attacking intent down the right flank.
The duo worked together at Ajax during the 2019/20 campaign before Dest was snapped up by Barca.
However, the 21-year-old is now up for sale as the Spaniards look to raise funds.

And United are considering a swoop before linked clubs – including league rivals Chelsea – make their move.
Should Dest wind up at Old Trafford this week, United will then allow Wan-Bissaka to depart.
The 24-year-old has made just one appearance this term.
Wan-Bissaka cost United £50million to sign from Crystal Palace three years ago.
And the Eagles are bidding to bring him back to Selhurst Park.
However, West Ham are also interested in a move.
And both London sides will be watching United’s Dest developments closely.
