Luke Shaw was brought to Manchester United back in 2014 and has been the undisputed left-back in Manchester United’s starting eleven. Reviled in front of an open mic by Jose Mourinho in his time, but since then the England international has been important for the team. The weakness has been the recurring injuries, always “badly timed”. Tyrell Malacia was signed in 2022 to cover for Shaw and make the left-back position less vulnerable. Malacia also ended up being long-term injured, after which the Dutchman has been written off. So when the German media reports United are interested in another injury-prone left-back, albeit world-class, then we become critical.
German journalist Christian Falk, close to Bayern Munich, reports Manchester United have sent signals they are interested in the high-speed train Alphonso Davies.

It is not the first time Davies has been linked with United, but this time Bayern are open to bids. Large parts of the last two seasons were broken up by injuries, the Bundesliga club is now ready to sell its “roadrunner” Davies due to the situation, reports Falk.
In February, the 25-year-old was injured again and is still out, this time with “torn muscle fibers”. When the Canadian is injury-free, he is still considered one of the best on the market with a lot of experience from the biggest games and titles, but when United themselves are struggling with their own injury situation, the solution is definitely not to bring in another element of uncertainty.
Only 526 minutes in the match arena for Davies so far in the season speaks of high risk in signing Bayern’s speedtrain.
