I love Man United and Real Madrid but I prefer to join.. – Alphonso Davies makes final transfer stance after opening talks with Real Madrid amid strong Man utd links

Erik ten Hag will have to improve results rapidly at Manchester United if he’s to see himself survive at Old Trafford for another month – let alone until another transfer window.

Still, the transfer gears are turning in the background. The news that Alphonso Davies might soon be available for grabs will undoubtedly pique the interest of the Red Devils’ recruitment squad, which is headed by former Newcastle executive Dan Ashworth.

The 23-year-old international from Canada is one of numerous Bayern Munich players that United is apparently keeping an eye on.

Interestingly, if their contracts are allowed to expire in the summer of 2020, both Leroy Sane and the young fullback might be available to sign on a free transfer. Real Madrid is in negotiations with Alphonso Davies.

The team located in Old Trafford needs to be aware of one little but significant flaw. Real Madrid and Davies have discussed Davies’ possible signing, and it’s believed that the player is dreaming of a move to Real Madrid

“Alphonso Davies is still dreaming of Real Madrid. Bayern Munich have taken a break on contract talks,” Christian Falk told CaughtOffside in his latest Fact Files column.

“They don’t want to engage in discussions with his agent, Nick Huoseh, any more, as they think the salary demands are too high. They don’t want to pay him over €20m a year.

“If United are willing to pay this, they would be a big competitor for Real Madrid. At the moment, I heard of talks with Real Madrid but I’ve yet to hear the same for Manchester United.

“Of course, if a player like Davies is on the market, he’s also on the radar of United. If they’re searching for a player in that position, Davies would sit at the table.”

Manchester United need to sign Alphonso Davies
Putting Carlo Ancelotti’s all-dominating Madrid outfit to one side, decision-makers at Manchester United can’t afford to ignore their very real need for fullback reinforcements.

Whilst they aren’t currently short on depth in Luke Shaw (29) and Tyrell Malacia (25), it won’t have escaped anyone’s notice that the duo both find themselves in the treatment room.

Yes, both are expected to make recoveries in the relatively near future and yes, some patience should be afforded to the latter given his comparative youth.

But can Ten Hag’s side really afford to be as generous with their patience levels when it comes to the England international who has missed a whopping 57 games (Transfermarkt) since the 2023/24 campaign?

Beating our interest from Real Madrid, of course, will be quite the challenge for a club currently competing outside of the top four spots.

If Ashworth wants to nail down the future of the left-back spot for potentially the next decade, however, the soon-to-be out-of-contract Bayern star looks to be his man
