Man United are set to end up disappointed in their pursuit of Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies as the Red Devils keep an eye on the market for solutions to their left-back problems.
The role has been a problem for Erik ten Hag and Man United over the past two seasons due to Luke Shaw’s constant injury problems.
The England international is yet to feature for the Manchester club in the 2024/25 campaign and has proven too unreliable to be the Red Devils’ starting left-back starting next season.
The Dutch coach addressed the physical condition of Shaw and Tyrell Malacia during his press conference on Friday, saying via Fabrizio Romano: “We cannot force their return. We have to do it intelligently.
It remains to be seen when full-backs will be able to play for Man United again, but it is a problem the Premier League giants do not want in the 2025/26 campaign.
The Manchester club are monitoring the transfer market and this week, Florian Plettenberg from Sky Germany reported that United have joined the race for Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, with the Manchester club already gathering information on the Canadian star.
The 23-year-old is out of contract with the Bundesliga giants at the end of the season and talks over a new deal have not gone as planned so far.
Bayern are hoping to bring the Champions League-winning full-back back to the negotiating table before his current contract expires, but otherwise he will be a target for some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Man United ready to disappoint Alphonso Davies
According to The mirrorMan United look set to miss out on Alphonso Davies as a move to Real Madrid or staying at Bayern Munich are the most likely outcomes for the full-back’s future at present.
Real Madrid has been monitoring the Canadian’s situation in Germany for months and considered the favorite to sign the defender for free in 2025.
It’s easy to see why the left-back would want to join the La Liga champions, as a super team is being built in the Spanish capital and in Davies, alongside Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnoldcould be the latest additions.
