Man United linked with January move to sign Red Bull Salzburg star who dreams of playing at Old Trafford -Report

According to TEAMtalk, United is thinking of signing Red Bull Salzburg star Amar Dedic in January.

According to rumors, United is looking to add additional competition at full back, and Dedic is one possible addition.

But Brighton & Hove Albion and Napoli are rumored to be interested in Dedic as well, so United isn’t the only team after him. Although Napoli looks to be winning the race at the moment, United is lurking nearby.

Dedic is reportedly going to cost about £23.4 million, and Red Bull Salzburg is prepared to demand a fair price given that the defender has a 2027 deal.

If United do make a move for Dedic in January, Jurgen Klopp would be involved in any potential deal

Who is Amar Dedic?
Dedic was born in Austria but has always represented Bosnia and Herzegovina on the international stage.

The 22-year-old started with LUV Graz and Sturm Graz before being plucked by Red Bull Salzburg in 2015.

Dedic was worked his way up in the Red Bull setup and impressed with partner club Liefering before a strong loan spell at Wolfsberger AC.

Now with more than 80 first-team appearances to his name with Red Bull Salzburg, Dedic has put himself on United’s radar with eight goals and 12 assists along the way.

Hailed as ‘technically superb’ by Christoph Freund, Dedic is similar to Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot in that he can play on either side.

Predominantly right footed, Dedic would add depth to United’s defensive options but Ineos will have to decide whether that is worth the £20million-plus Red Bull Salzburg want.
