David Raum transfer: Manchester United eye £30m move for RB Leipzig defender | OneFootball

Manchester United are looking to add more depth to the left-back department, and they have identified David Raum as a target.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the 28-year-old German International is admired by Manchester United, and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are prepared to make a move for him.

He has less than 12 months remaining on his current contract with RB Leipzig, and he could be available for a fee of £30 million. The 28-year-old has the quality and experience to play for a big club, and he could be a very useful option for Manchester United.

He could compete with Luke Shaw for the starting spot next season. Manchester United need a deeper squad with more quality in order to do well in the Premier League and in Europe. They have secured Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they need to plug the gaps in their squad.

It is clear that they are very interested in signing a left back this summer. They have been heavily linked with Lewis Hall from Newcastle United as well. However, the Magpies are unwilling to sanction his departure.

Raum would be a much more attainable target for Manchester United. The player has already spoken with Manchester United in the past, and he would be happy to join the Premier League club this summer.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Manchester United have the resources to pay £30 million for the experienced defender, and they should look to get the deal across the line quickly.
