Man United could explore move for Bayern left-back Alphonso Davies

Manchester United are currently exploring the market for potential new signings and how they can improve the standard of the team.

Naturally, with the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim, Man United have been linked with a number of players and with the January transfer window approaching, transfer speculation will continue to increase every week.

An area that the club owns identified to strengthen during the January transfer window is the left-back position.

The fitness issues suffered by Luke Shaw will likely force the club to go into the market for a new left-back.

Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies has been linked with a move to Man United and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shared his thoughts on the defender's potential move to Old Trafford.

Speaking on his YouTube Channel, Romano claimed that Davies could be an interesting option for the Red Devils.

He said:

“There are reports that Alphonso is extending the contract with Bayern, but according to my information he still has not made any decision.

“The situation remains absolutely open for him. I also understand that he will not sign anything before Christmas. The idea is to consider all possibilities.

“Bayern is still there and pushing to extend the contract. There is Real Madrid, who have been interested for a long time and there is also Manchester United who are looking for a left back.

“Alphonso Davies, in case he decides to leave Bayern, could be an interesting prospect for the club.”

Man United faces competition from Real Madrid

The Red Devils will have to beat Real Madrid to sign Davies and they have shown in the past that they can do it.

Man United managed to sign Leny Yoro against the La Liga and Champions League winners and there's no reason why they can't do it again.

Davies' contract at Bayern Munich expires next summer and he could become the ideal candidate for the left-back position at Man United.

By early January, Davies will be allowed to begin discussions with other clubs and when that opportunity arises, Man United will need to act quickly as interest will be high in Canada's international defense services.
