Erik ten Hag is said to want to bring in another full runner to share the role with Diogo Dalot.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s future remains uncertain, and he has yet to appear this season.
The lack of technical English ability could be a drag on the Ten Hag system.
Wan Bissaka’s biggest asset is his one-on-one defense, and he suits teams that play deeper down the line.
United are slowly becoming a possession-based team under Ten Hag, and many believe the 24-year-old would be a misfit.
Arias could be an interesting option to replace Wan-Bissaka.
The Colombian is a seasoned professional who won multiple titles with Atletico Madrid.
He recently spent time on loan at Grenada before becoming a free agent in the summer.
Dalot’s performances have been brilliant this season, so if Arias does make it to United, it would be as a substitute.
Journalist Johnson Saenz, the player, has already packed his bags and is ready to move to Old Trafford.
According to reports, he will sign a two-year contract worth seven million euros.
