Manchester United have reportedly approached to explore a move for Alphonso Davies, with Real Madrid as the front-runner in the chase.
According to TBR , Manchester United are ready to let Alphonso Davies know about their interest in signing him next summer. The Red Devils are looking for a star name, and the Canadian’s availability on a free transfer has attracted massive attention, although Real Madrid are considered the favorites to land him.

Manchester United clearly need a new left-back who produces top-class performances and, more importantly, is available for long periods of the season. The Red Devils are frustrated with Tyrel Malacia and Luke Shaw’s fitness problems, with neither being available for key games or most matches.
While there are question marks about the duo’s long-term fitness, the club are open to adding a big-name left-back to their ranks. They hold an interest in Alphonso Davies and have reportedly approached to explore a move for the 23-year-old full-back.
Davies is potentially available on a free transfer as he seems destined to run down his contract at Bayern Munich, which expires next summer. The Bavarians have reportedly given up hope of convincing him to stay beyond the current season, which would mean only one thing: that the 23-year-old full-back may have already agreed on a move elsewhere in the background.
Manchester United are willing to go all out for Davies and are aware of the big interest in the 23-year-old full-back from Premier League rivals like Chelsea and Manchester City. However, the biggest threat to the Red Devils or any other club, for that matter, comes from Real Madrid.
Davies set to join Real Madrid?
Real Madrid have been chasing Davies for over two years, and last summer, they might have come the closest to land him. While they might have been quoted at a higher price point, the 23-year-old full-back will have been convinced to leave on a free transfer next summer.
Davies remains in talks with Real Madrid and has his heart set on a move to the Bernabeu next summer. Given that the Spanish giants might have done sufficient groundwork and even held conversations in the background, they are the clear favorites to land the left-back ahead of other interested sides like Manchester United.
