Manchester United have been linked with a move for 24-year-old Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, newly appointed Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has approved a move for 24-year-old Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies.
Davies has been linked with clubs like Real Madrid as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. The Canadian international is a proven performer in the Bundesliga, and he has helped Bayern Munich win the treble in recent years. There is no doubt that he would be an exceptional acquisition for Manchester United.
The Red Devils need to bring in more quality and depth to the defensive unit, and the 24-year-old seems like the ideal acquisition. He will help Manchester United improve defensively, and his ability going forward will add a new dimension to their attack as well.
Alphonso Davies would be a major upgrade on someone like Luke Shaw, who has struggled with persistent injury problems. Manchester United have had to use makeshift options at the back this season, and signing a specialist left-back should be one of their priorities.
Can Manchester United get a deal done for Davies?
It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal done for the Canadian wide man. Alphonso Davies will be a free agent in the summer of 2025, and he could be available for a reasonable price in January.
If the Bundesliga outfit are unwilling to sell him midway through the season, Manchester United will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with him, which will allow them to sign the player on a free transfer in the summer. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Real Madrid will be an attractive destination for the treble winner as well.
It is fair to assume that Manchester United might need to secure Champions League qualification to attract players of his quality. He will want to compete at the highest level and win major trophies. The Red Devils are a big club, but they are not quite at the level where they can match up to the European elite. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the defender to join them.
