Bad Taste has been linked with a January transfer to Manchester United.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is likely to leave in the coming weeks after a mix of injuries and failing to impress since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked.
Diogo Dalot has been in the best form of his life after being introduced as a starter under last season’s interim manager Ralf Rangnick.
This season, he managed to make Portugal’s World Cup squad after impressive matches under new manager Erik ten Hag.
He has played in all but one game this season and the manager has spoken about the need to bring in a reliable backup considering his workload.
According to Florian Plettenberg, a Sky Sports reporter, Gusto is highly valued at United.
The Peoples Person reported that the club were interested in the 19-year-old last month.
excl. Bad #Taste: The 19-year-old is rated very highly in #MUFC and a top transfer target as a right-back. #Frimpong is still inside. Ten Hag is pushing for #Dumfries. Gusto would be a great solution in the summer of 23. The bosses estimate a price of around 30-40 million euros. @SkySportDE ???????? pic.twitter.com/Zz0ikYoHcA

Florian says in the tweet “Excl. Bad #Taste: The 19-year-old is rated very highly in #MUFC and one of the main transfer targets as a right-back.”
“#Frimpong is still in. Ten Hag is pushing for #Dumfries.”
“Gusto would be a great solution in the summer of 23. The bosses estimate a price of around 30-40 million euros.”
It’s clear that Ten Hag is lining up a bunch of targets to replace Wan-Bissaka if he ends up leaving.
A move by Gusto seems more likely in the summer, considering the club’s financial situation.
For now, it seems that the club’s priority is to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who was the club’s top scorer last season.
Despite Gusto only being 19, United fans will remember Dalot as a substitute at a similar age.
United welcomed Brandon Williams and Wan-Bissaka during their mid-season friendlies in Spain last week.
It remains to be seen what his future at the club is with a loan move likely for Williams, while United will look to dump Wan-Bissaka during the upcoming January window.
