Cucurella has fallen down the pecking order since Mauricio Pochettino took over, with Ben Chilwell currently holding the first choice spot at left-back.
The Red Devils are reportedly considering a move for veteran full-back Ryan Bertrand as well, while Romano reported that there are three names on the shortlist of potential replacements but the club are not looking to make an expensive signing.
Ahead of the game against Nottingham Forest, Ten Hag did reveal they will find a replacement in the transfer market if the right players is available.
"It can be, because we have to anticipate situations. So if there are opportunities, yes. But it has to be the right player. And otherwise we have to deal with the current squad," Ten Hag said, as per the club's official website.
