Team Talk reports on Manchester United's attempt to hijack Julio Enciso's loan move to Ipswich Town. Manchester United attempted to hijack the loan move of Julio Enciso to Ipswich Town as a potential short-term replacement for Alejandro Garnacho. Contact was made between Manchester United and Brighton, but the attempt failed because Enciso rejected the move due to concerns over playing time. Enciso preferred regular starts and wanted to play from the start.

In recent days, Manchester United and Brighton engaged in discussions regarding Julio Enciso. With the possibility of Garnacho departing towards the end of the transfer window, Manchester United is examining options to find a suitable replacement. An attempt was made to acquire the Paraguayan player, but the arrangement for his temporary transfer to Ipswich had already been finalized, making it too late for changes. The decision for Enciso to move to Ipswich was influenced by Kieran McKenna, Ipswich Town's manager, who reached out to Enciso to persuade him to join the team. Furthermore, Brighton's preference was to keep Enciso in the Premier League to ensure he qualifies as a Homegrown Player by the next season, which played a role in their choice to loan him to Ipswich rather than considering other interested clubs such as Valencia and Borussia Dortmund.
