Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies has been linked with a move away from the German club at the end of the season.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in securing his signature. According to a report from Football Insider, Bayern Munich would be open to selling the Canadian International defender if an offer is “too good to refuse”.

Manchester United are looking to add more depth in that area of the pitch, and Davies could be an excellent addition. They need quality cover for Luke Shaw next season, and signing a left-back is one of their priorities.

Davies could help them improve defensively, and he is equally good going forward. He will also help create opportunities for his teammates. He has consistently shown his quality in Germany, and he has the technical attributes for English football as well.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United is prepared to get the deal done. The 25-year-old is likely to cost a premium.

Meanwhile, the report from Football Insider also claims that Manchester United are determined to sign a quality central defender this summer.

They are likely to be competing in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they need to improve defensively. They have looked vulnerable defensively this season. A quality central defender and a left back could make a big difference for them next year. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right players over the next few weeks.

They have shown improvement under Michael Carrick this season, but they need quality additions in order to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City next season.
