Formal offer made as Man United make move to hijack major transfer deal for Top Real Madrid target -Report

Manchester United have reportedly made a formal offer to Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies as they look to beat Real Madrid to the transfer.

The Canada international’s contract at the Allianz Arena is coming to an end, so it’s not unexpected that big names are lining up to sign him. He might be available as a free agent next summer.

A report from the Spanish publication Todo Fichajes claims that although it appeared that Real Madrid was in the lead for Davies, the Manchester United board is now reportedly also making a play.

Perhaps a big takeover is imminent, with the Red Devils catching up to Real Madrid just like they did with Leny Yoro in the summer.

Before MUFC snatched that agreement, Yoro appeared to be headed to Madrid.

With left-back a real issue for United for some time now due to Luke Shaw’s lack of availability due to ongoing fitness problems, a signing like Davies could be a real boost for the club.

On his day, Davies is a world class left-back with great pace and quality, particularly going forward, even if he sometimes lacks that elite sharpness when it comes to his defending.

Overall, though, it’s hard to see Davies not being a significant upgrade on Shaw, who can be a good player when he’s fully fit, but is perhaps never likely to be quite what United need in that position.

Real Madrid have done well with some recent free transfers like Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger, but it may be that they’re now at risk of missing out to United for Davies
