Manchester United are really interested in signing ‘one of the fastest’ players in Europe next year

Manchester United were one of Europe’s biggest spenders during the summer transfer window.

INEOS placed their full trust in Erik ten Hag and backed him with an eye-watering spend of £178m on five 🍬new acquisitꩲions.

So far, the Dutchman has failed to repay that trust as Manchester United reside in 14th place, having made their worst-ever start to a Premier Leag🔯ue season.

In fact, Man United chiefs are ba꧙ck in contact with Thomas Tuchel as they consider dismissing ten Hag.

Whilst INEOS decide on ten🗹 Hag’s future, the recruitment team are already working on potential signings ahead of next summer’s window.

With that said, it’s just come to l𝔍ight that United are eyeing one of Europe’s fastest players.

Manchester United confident they can sign Alphonso Davies in 2025

According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United have made Bayern Munich fullback Alphonso Davies a desired target for 2025.

United accept that signing Davies will be aꦅ difficult deal to pull off, especially considering Real Madrid a♔re also circling.

However, that’s not stopped them from carrying out their due diligence on the Canada international, w𓄧ho could become available on a free transfer next summer💞.

The 23-year-old has now entered the final eight months of his deal at Bayern and no concrete talks have taken place to extend it thꩲus far.

Davies’ arrival would cert♏ainly address Man United’s problem area at left-back – as they continue to be without the🦂 injured Luke Shaw.
