Manchester United eye left-back options for January 2027

Manchester United are expected to make left-back a priority in the January 2027 transfer window, with reports linking the club to Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies and Club Brugge’s Joaquin Seys as possible options. No move has been confirmed by the club, and the reported approaches remain at different stages. A report citing German outlet Fussball News said United had made an initial enquiry about Davies through intermediaries. Bayern’s reported asking price is €60 million to €65 million, equivalent to about £51 million to £55 million. The enquiry and price information trace to that report and have not been independently confirmed in the supplied accounts. Davies, 25, signed a five-year contract extension with Bayern in February 2025, keeping him at the club until 2030. The report said Bayern may be more open to a sale than previously, but neither the club nor the player has confirmed that he is available. Any potential deal would also face competition from Real Madrid and Barcelona, according to the same account. Separately, United are reported to have opened talks over Seys, 21. That claim came from a report about the Club Brugge defender, who is contracted through 2029.
