Manchester United are reportedly interested in acquiring the services of 22-year-old French defensive sensation Bradley Locko.
According to a report from HITC, Manchester United’s priority will be to reinforce their defence ahead of next season, and they have their eye set on Stade Brestois sensation Bradley Locko. The left-back has shown great signing of promise, and Manchester United are willing to invest in him.
Bradley Locko’s rise at Stade Brestois
Locko was a part of Stade Reims before making the move to Brestois at the start of 2023. Initially, he joined them on a short loan but the move was made permanent last summer. The 22-year-old left-back has been in exceptional form this term, and his performances have not gone unnoticed.
He has featured in a total of 35 matches for the French outfit and has even contributed towards three goals. He has established himself as a mainstay in the club, and his performances have resulted in interest from some of the biggest clubs from across Europe.
Manchester United interested in Locko
Manchester United are one of the clubs keen on having Bradley Locko in their ranks. The Red Devils want to reinforce their squad in the summer. They are expected to go big in the transfer window to get the type of players they want.
While they do need reinforcement on almost all areas of the pitch, strengthening the defence is a priority. Injuries have caused many problems for the English giants as their key defenders have missed most of the season.
They have been without a proper left-back on many occasions this season. Luke Shaw has featured in a handful of games, while Tyrell Malacia has been out for the entire season. The duo’s unavailability has caused a lot of problems, and they are looking to sign a new left-back to ensure they have enough depth starting next season.
Locko’s impressive rise has put him on the radar of the Manchester-based club. The Red Devils have scouted the 22-year-old on multiple occasions in recent months. They feel he could be an ideal addition to their ranks for the short as well as long run.
As a result, Manchester United are considering making a move for him. With his contract at Brest running until the summer of 2027 and multiple top clubs interested in him, signing Bradley Locko won’t be straightforward for the English club.
