Alphonso Davies has been linked with a move away from Bayern Munich in recent months, with Manchester United among his suitors.
Clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid have been linked with Alphonso Davies heavily, but it seems that the Canadian international is now close to signing a new contract with Bayern Munich. According to Florian Plettenberg, the 24-year-old is likely to commit his future to the Bundesliga club, and the development will come as a major blow for Manchester United.
The Red Devils needed a quality left-back, and Davies would have been a superb acquisition. He has proven himself in the Bundesliga and in the UEFA Champions League with Bayern Munich. There is no doubt that he has the qualities to succeed in England as well. He could have improved Manchester United at both ends of the pitch.
Apart from being a reliable defender, Alphonso Davies is very good going forward, and he would have helped create opportunities for his teammates in the final third. Manchester United have Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia as his left-back options. However, both players have struggled with injury problems, and their availability is quite unreliable.
Manchester United need to invest in a more reliable player, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to move on to other targets. Signing a quality left-back should be one of their priorities. Manchester United improved their defensive unit by signing two central defenders in the summer transfer window, and they need to sort out their left back department now.
Manchester United a quality left-back
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can bring in the right reinforcements over the next few months. They will be desperate to bounce back strongly and push for major trophies. Signing the right players will help them compete with the elite clubs once again.
The Red Devils have not been able to win a major trophy since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, and they will look to get back to their former glories. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will be delighted with the fact that one of their best players is ready to commit his long-term future to the club. Despite links with multiple European heavyweights.
The Bundesliga giants will be hoping to win major trophies in the coming seasons, and they will be a key player for them. Meanwhile, Florentino Perez was also working on the deal to sign Davies, but he must look elsewhere for a left-back.
