Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez discussed the perceived friction between Ilkay Gundogan and Araujo stemming from post-game comments from the Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
United’s defensive frailties
United's defensive vulnerabilities were evident once again as they were held to a 1-1 draw against Burnley, with Erik ten Hag's side conceding a late goal, a recurring issue this season.
With injuries plaguing their backline and key defenders like Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans facing contract uncertainties, United are keen to bolster their defensive ranks.
Araujo seen as a solution
Araujo, a vital part of Barcelona's defense, has been instrumental in helping his team keep 10 clean sheets this season. Despite his desire to stay at Barcelona, financial pressures on the Catalan club could force them to consider selling him.

United are reportedly prepared to pay €100 million for the 25-year-old Uruguayan defender, according to Caughtoffisde. Although Araujo prefers to stay at Barcelona, he may be open to a move if offered an attractive salary and a long-term contract.
While the lack of Champions League football at United could be a stumbling block, the club is willing to offer Araujo a significant salary increase. With the potential departure of Varane and the sale of other defenders, United are optimistic about securing Araujo's signature.
