BVB star in the frame: Manchester United chase Daniel Svensson | OneFootball

Is Daniel Svensson being drawn to the island? Various Premier League clubs are said to have Borussia Dortmund’s 24-year-old left-back on their radar.

The clubs in question are big names with deep pockets. According to transfer expert Ekrem Konur on X, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all closely monitoring Svensson’s performances. Atalanta Bergamo are also said to have taken an interest in the Swedish international.

According to the report, Manchester United scouts have watched Dortmund several times in person this season, specifically to track Svensson’s development. At the Red Devils, the wide player is being considered as competition for Luke Shaw. The 30-year-old Shaw is an undisputed starter for the team currently sitting third in the Premier League table and has been in the starting lineup for every league match.

United also have another left-back option in 21-year-old Danish talent Patrick Dorgu, who was only signed in February 2025 for €30 million. Manchester United would have to pay a hefty fee for Svensson, however, as Konur estimates the potential transfer price at around €40 million.

Svensson initially joined Dortmund on loan from FC Nordsjaelland in February 2025 for €1.8 million. Since the left-back impressed right away, the Black and Yellows signed him permanently six months later for €6.5 million. The 24-year-old is under contract in Dortmund until 2029.

A real ever-present, Svensson has missed just two competitive matches this season. In his 44 appearances for Borussia, he has failed to make the starting XI only eight times. The Stockholm native has recorded four goals and two assists.

Svensson is known for his relentless work rate and is highly valued by his coach Niko Kovac (54). Over the course of this season, he has made 560 sprints – more than any other Dortmund player. His 2,584 intensive runs are surpassed league-wide only by Hoffenheim’s Vladimir Coufal (33), who has 2,725.
