Manchester United Update: World-Class Star Engaged in Talks After Contract Change
Manchester United are preparing for discussions with a world-class talent, following a significant change of heart from the player.
The Red Devils have been shaken by the departure of Dan Ashworth as sporting director, but are moving forward with plans to enhance Ruben Amorim’s squad in his absence. Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox, and owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe are in charge and aiming to progress the club’s ambitions.
As Amorim faced his second consecutive loss as Manchester United manager at home against Nottingham Forest over the weekend, the squad requires noticeable enhancement – with one high-profile player being sought after.
The Manchester United hierarchy have initiated talks for unsettled superstar
With United currently positioned 13th in the league, there is anticipated movement in the upcoming winter transfer window, as Ratcliffe supports his new head coach.
Although the club has an abundance of forwards, Amorim has a limited selection of natural wing-backs available, aside from the dependable Diogo Dalot. This might very well be where United decides to allocate their investment first.
German journalist Christian Falk has reported on X (formerly Twitter) that the Red Devils have requested a meeting with Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies’ agent, after a breakdown in discussions regarding a renewal between the Canadian and his current club.
Davies is set to become a free agent and is eligible to negotiate with foreign clubs starting in January. As per Falk, the player’s agent, Nick Househ, is unhappy with Bayern regarding their latest efforts to finalize an improved deal – with meetings now lined up with United and Real Madrid.
United have previously shown interest in Davies, but with Amorim’s appointment, the need for a new left wing-back has become more pressing. The Bayern star could potentially also contribute as one of the three forwards, as he does for his national team.
In eScored’s opinion, acquiring Davies would be a significant achievement for United, although this recent update could be a strategy from the player’s camp to compel Bayern into presenting a more favorable deal.
Real Madrid has had its eyes on Davies for a longer period, while Manchester City has also been mentioned in connection with him. United may encounter stiff competition to secure the 24-year-old’s services in the Premier League.
Davies is valued at €50 million, according to Transfermarkt. Next Sunday, the Manchester Derby will take place at the Etihad Stadium, as Premier League action resumes.
