Manchester United have identified Samuel Dahl as a possible signing for the next summer transfer window. The Benfica left-back has been catching the eye and has attracted the interest of the English club, who have already watched him on several occasions throughout the season.

The Old Trafford club are looking for a long-term solution for the position, given the need to find an alternative to Luke Shaw. José Mourinho’s pupil has emerged as a profile that fits that strategy, being seen as a young player with room for development.

The Red Devils believe they can help accelerate the player’s growth, at a time when the young full-back has been gaining prominence in Benfica’s squad.

Even so, Benfica are under no pressure to sell, since Dahl is under contract until 2029. Any move by Manchester United will depend on an offer that meets the demands of the Lisbon club.

This season, playing for Benfica, Samuel Dahl - valued at €12 million - has already made a total of 46 official appearances: 26 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 13 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,967 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the number 26 has recorded two goals and two assists.
