According to GiveMeSport, Man United plans to recruit the Canadian full-back.

Man United is one of the most active teams in the summer transfer market of 2024. The Red Devils brought in 5 new contracts, including: Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte.

However, the Old Trafford team still has a minus point in the left-back position. This season, coach Erik ten Hag often uses two ‘fire-fighting’ solutions named Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot. In the context of the duo Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia not having a return date, Man United is in a shortage of personnel on the left wing.

Shaw is constantly injured.

Mazraoui and Dalot are not long-term solutions. Man United need to quickly strengthen their squad with a proper left-back.

According to the latest report from Give Me Sport, Man United are considering signing Alphonso Davies . The deal is likely to happen in January 2025.

The Canadian defender’s future has been a hot topic throughout the summer of 2024. After all, Davies remains committed to Bayern Munich. The 23-year-old’s current contract expires in the summer of 2025.

Many big names are chasing Davies.

In that context, the Bavarian Tigers will try to push Davies away as soon as possible if they cannot convince him to sign a new contract. Man United is one of the big clubs that has Davies in their sights .

Davies is considered a great replacement for Shaw at left-back. The 23-year-old star has long been considered one of the best left-backs in the world. Davies has appeared on the list of the most promising young talents of ESPN, Goal.

Davies has gradually established himself in the Bayern Munich squad. The Canadian international has had an excellent performance on the German team’s journey to the treble in the 2019/2020 season.

Davies left his mark at Bayern Munich.

Davies promises to bring abundant energy to Man United’s left flank. The Canadian international possesses natural speed, enough to threaten many opposing defenses.

Former player Rio Ferdinand commented on Davies in 2020: “He is the Usain Bolt of football. Davies has an unusual trajectory. Davies is one of the best left-backs in the world.”

Davies is a worthy replacement for Luke Shaw.

“What I like most about Davies is that he is intense and hungry both in attack and defence. He uses his natural speed to destroy opponents . ”

The stats don’t lie. Davies is among the 10 fastest players in the 2023/2024 Champions League (35.5km/h). Davies’s fast movements and touchline situations become a powerful weapon if used to the fullest.

Man United will face strong competition for Davies. Real Madrid are ready to roll out the red carpet to recruit the Canadian full-back.
