Euro giants could ‘consider’ offer from Man Utd for 25y/o defender | OneFootball

Manchester United are interested in signing Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies in the summer transfer window. 

The Red Devils are in the market to sign a new left-back in the summer window, as they want to add competition for Luke Shaw.

Tyrell Malacia is expected to leave Old Trafford, while Patrick Dorgu is viewed as a more advanced option, which leaves Man Utd in search of a new left-back.

Manchester United interested in Alphonso Davies?

The Red Devils have a long-standing interest in the Bayern defender.

Man Utd were interested in signing him before, but the move did not materialise as he went on to sign a lucrative contract at Bayern.

However, the 25-year-old defender has struggled with injuries. After returning from a long-term injury, he has picked up a fresh one, and is currently on the sidelines.

Christian Falk told CFBayern recently that Bayern could be willing to listen to offers if any suitor approach them.

“It is TRUE: Manchester United are interested in Alphonso Davies. They were at the table when questions were being asked as to whether he would sign a new contract at Bayern Munich. They’re still monitoring this player, but he’s, of course, since signed a new contract at the Allianz Arena, so it will be difficult to get him at the moment. But there are also discussions going on at the club as to whether they need a new backup player, given all the injuries Davies keeps picking up. Before, they thought they didn’t need a player on the left-hand side because Hiroki Itō can play there as well.

However, if there were an offer on the table (and don’t forget it cost Bayern a lot of money to extend Davies), there would be a discussion. But I can say right now that there has yet to be a concrete offer from Manchester United. If there’s an offer, perhaps Bayern will consider it, as the injuries keep coming.”

Should Bayern sell Davies to Man Utd?

While Davies is a world-class player, his recurrent injuries are proving to be a headache for the German giants.

Considering that he is one of the high-maintenance players at the club, it makes sense for Bayern to cash in on him if Davies continues to struggle with injuries.

Man Utd are reportedly checking on other options, including Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly, but Davies would be a terrific signing for them.
