Ruben Amorim pushing Manchester United to sign Alphonso Davies – Man United News And Transfer News

Manchester United are pushing hard to sign Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies at the request of Ruben Amorim.

Strongly linked with Man United in recent times, it appears as if the club will do their utmost to acquire the Canadian defender given Amorim’s interest in the player.

In fact, it appears as if United have already reached out to the player to get the ball rolling.

“Manchester United have checked in on Alphonso Davies to gauge his interest in joining the club, as Ruben Amorim has said he wants him,” TEAMtalk reported.

“TEAMtalk has been aware for some time that the Red Devils would like to land Davies if possible. Now, sources state they have taken the next step, checking in with the Canadian defender himself to gauge his interest in joining the club.”

The article concluded that the pursuit for Davies comes “after new boss Amorim greenlit the operation, which would be a free transfer in the summer or a potential cheaper transfer in January.”

Davies has proven to be a hot commodity in recent times, making him a difficult signing for United to land. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid have emerged as interested parties, which makes sense given his status as one of Bayern’s key players in their starting lineup.

Still, with his contract at Bayern set to expire at the end of the season, there is the possibility that Davies may opt for a contract extension, as The Peoples Person noted yesterday.

There is also the issue of cost, with United reportedly unwilling to meet Davies’ wage demands, according to a previous report.

Despite such issues, United may yet manage to find a way to lure Davies to Old Trafford for a reasonable price. Should the player confirm his interest in joining United, Amorim may be able to negotiate a better financial deal.

What’s more, the United manager may be able to get ahead of other interested parties by putting together a January transfer offer, landing a deal for the player while competitors wait to snag him on a free deal in the summer.

Given Luke Shaw’s latest injury setback, United are in need of a world-class left-back who can perform on a regular basis. Davies could certainly fit the bill.
