Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis Sign up Privacy Policy Luke Shaw has been sidelined until November due to a muscle injury and with Tyrell Malacia also still ruled out, United are hoping to bring in another option this week. Marc Cucurella, Sergio Reguilon and Marcos Alonso are three options under consideration at Old Trafford but the Daily Mail report Henry is also a target. The 26-year-old, who is hoping to earn a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad this week has been an integral member of Thomas Frank's starting XI, starting all but one of the Bees' 38 league games last season. He has also completed the full 90 minutes in each of Brentford's three league games this term. United would likely face an uphill task in prising Henry away from Brentford at this stage of the transfer window with the club also restricted by a tight transfer budget having spent £175m this summer on Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund. United are also exploring a move for Chelsea left-back Cucurella, just a year on from his £60m move from Brighton. Henry's contract expires in 2026 (Picture: Getty) The Spaniard endured a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge and has not featured under Mauricio Pochettino this term with Ben Chilwell the club's first-choice option. Tottenham's Reguilon is another option with Spurs ready to listen to offers for the player who was shipped out on loan last summer. Former Chelsea star Alonso is another target although reports suggest he is committed to Barcelona and is not looking for another move just a year on from his return to Spain.
