Manchester United Eyeing Big Names for Left Wing-Back Role as Ruben Amorim Asserts His Vision
It’s no secret that Manchester United are in the midst of a rebuild under new manager Ruben Amorim, and the latest transfer rumors suggest the club is setting its sights high. With injury concerns plaguing their left wing-back options, United are reportedly scouting some of the biggest names in the game, including Nuno Mendes, Alphonso Davies, and Milos Kerkez. Meanwhile, Amorim has made it clear that he wants the final say on transfers, signaling a bold new era at Old Trafford.
According to the Daily Mail, Amorim is keen to bolster his squad as he implements his preferred 3-4-3 system. With Tyrell Malacia sidelined and Luke Shaw potentially being shifted to a left center-back role, the need for reinforcements is urgent. Mendes, Davies, and Kerkez are all being closely monitored, and their addition could provide the spark United need to turn their season around.
Barcelona, Spurs, and Liverpool in Tug-of-War for Rensch
Over in Spain, Barcelona are facing stiff competition from Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool for the signature of Devyne Rensch. The 21-year-old Ajax full-back has been on Barcelona’s radar for months, with his contract set to expire in the summer. However, Spurs and Liverpool are also in the mix, and Ajax have reportedly offered Rensch a renewal to keep him in Amsterdam. According to Diario Sport, Barcelona are also keeping tabs on Marc Pubill from Almeria as a potential alternative.
Jonathan David Wants Barcelona, but Will They Bite?
Meanwhile, Lille striker Jonathan David has made his intentions clear: he wants to join Barcelona. However, the move is far from a done deal. According to Diario Sport, the financial demands of a potential transfer—estimated at €80 million for a four-year contract, signing bonus, and commission—are giving the Catalan club pause. With Robert Lewandowski still leading the line, David would not be guaranteed a starting spot, making the deal a tricky proposition. That said, Barcelona appreciate David’s public declaration and could make a move if the Canadian international is willing to compromise financially.
