Man United open talks over deal to sign Exciting £42m Bayern Munich star on free transfer next summer Amid strong Real Madrid links -Report

According to German football expert Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United has reportedly held talks over a deal to sign Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies next year.

The Red Devils decided to bolster their roster by adding a number of new players during the most recent transfer window, but they have had a terrible start to the season thus far.

Erik ten Hag’s team is currently sitting in 12th place in the Premier League table with 11 points from eight games, and they have lost all three of their Europa League encounters.

As a result, pressure is mounting on the Dutch manager, and even though the club’s hierarchy is currently sticking with him, they will have to make a decision if things don’t improve quickly.

In the meantime, Plettenberg states that Man Utd have started working to strengthen the squad in 2025 and are looking to reinforce the left-back position by signing Davies as a free agent. The Canadian’s contract will expire at the end of this season but the Bavarian club haven’t been able to make progress to agree on a fresh term with him.

Davies to Man Utd
United have already started making moves to sign Davies and have held talks with the player’s representatives to learn about the details of hiring him.

It has been reported that Real Madrid are also keen on signing the fullback and they are said to be the favourites to securing his service. Los Blancos generally get when they identify someone as a serious target.

But, United managed to beat the record European Champions in the race to sign Leny Yoro in the summer and they will be hoping to do the same this time around as well.

Ten Hag’s side have been struggling with left-back problems in recent times as Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia remain sidelined with their respective injury issues.

So, signing a new left-back would be the right decision next year and if they eventually manage to sign Davies – valued at around £42m by Transfermarkt – as a free agent then that would be a great coup.

The 23-year-old is a versatile player as he can play on both wings as well as the left-back position
