​Barcelona right-back Dest feeling pressured to leave amid Man Utd interest

Barcelona right-back Sergino Dest is feeling pressured to leave the club this summer.

The 21-year-old was not part of their squad for the first league game of the season, a draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Mundo Deportivo reports that the USMNT star is a target for Manchester United this summer.

However, Dest would ideally like to remain with the Catalans, as he still feels he can compete for a first team spot.

The problem is that he is not admired by coach Xavi, who would prefer to find another player for that position before the window closes.

Dest has struggled at Barca, despite getting chances at right-back and left-back.
