Manchester United Sets Sights on Theo Hernandez
Manchester United is gearing up for the upcoming transfer windows with plans to be highly active. Recently, the club from Old Trafford has undergone significant changes. Notably, Ruben Amorim has replaced Erik ten Hag as the head coach of the Red Devils, marking the beginning of a new era for the team. According to reports, the Portuguese coach has identified several positions that require heightened competition.
One such position is the left-back spot, where the former Sporting Lisbon manager currently has Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia at his disposal. The issue is that both players are prone to injuries and have recently been unavailable. Therefore, it’s anticipated that a new wing-back may soon arrive at Old Trafford. According to Sacha Tavolieri, Manchester United might aim to bring in a top-tier talent, specifically Theo Hernandez.
The 27-year-old Frenchman has been one of the premier full-backs in the world for several seasons. The Red Devils have the 36-time French international on their wish list, but they should expect stiff competition for his signature. The elite player’s situation is being closely watched.
AC Milan has been carefully observing Theo Hernandez for a considerable time, but they are not the only ones interested. The German club Bayern Munich has also shown keen interest in him. Theo Hernandez has been a successful part of the Rossoneri squad since July 2019, following his transfer from Real Madrid to San Siro for nearly 23 million euros.
His contract with the Italian giants is valid until June 30, 2026, and his market value is currently estimated at around 60 million euros.
