'At present': Man Utd have made big transfer call over 'dream solution', he wants £254,000p/w salary - report
Manchester United desperately need a squad overhaul to thrive under Ruben Amorim’s new style of play.
Amorim deploys his team in 3-4-3 formation with the wing-backs playing a pivotal role in both attack and defence.
Unfortunately, Man United lack quality and depth in this position.
Luke Shaw has always been unreliable due to his injury record.
Tyrell Malacia has returned after spending more than 1.5 years on the sidelines.
His performances so far have been underwhelming.
He looks far from his best and will likely need a few months to regain full match fitness.
Diogo Dalot has been filling in as the left wing-back but he is far more effective on the opposite side.
The Red Devils need to prioritise signing a dynamic left wing-back.
Alphonso Davies has been regularly linked with United over the last few months.
He is considered as a ‘dream solution‘ to United’s woes.
The Canadian international’s current deal with the German outfit expires at the end of the season.
However, negotiations for an extension have stalled due to a disagreement over wage demands.
According to the Athletic, Davies is not considered a priority target for Man United at present.
His astronomical salary demands would likely be an obstacle even if United want him as a free agent in the summer.
Davies is aiming for a lucrative deal, which includes a weekly salary of £254,000 and a signing-on fee of approximately £12.5 million.
INEOS have focused a lot on cost cutting in their first year in-charge of the club.
This includes laying off several staff members and making the unpopular decision to cancel the Christmas party.
They may look for alternatives who could be signed on a cheaper deal.
