Alphonso Davies is expected to leave Bayern Munich as a free agent, with his contract expiring next summer.
After signing in 2019, his time in the Bundesliga looks to be coming to an end.
Real Madrid are the reported frontrunners to secure the Canadian’s signature, but new information has revealed that Manchester United are edging closer to signing him.
So far, United’s interest has been speculative – up until now, they only gathered information on the 23-year-old and were pessimistic about the chances of signing him.

However, Florian Plettenberg has revealed that United now have a more ‘concrete’ interest in Alphonso Davies.
They have gathered extensive information on him and want him to fill their void at left back.
Over the last few months, United have held informal talks with the player’s representatives.
Davies is not expected to negotiate a new contract with Bayern and his exit is increasingly likely.
United are interested in Miguel Gutierrez as a backup target if their approach for Davies is unsuccessful.

The board are aware of Madrid’s lingering interest and have a contingency plan if they are beaten to signing Davies.
Right now, there are no fit left backs in Erik ten Hag’s squad except 17-year-old Harry Amass.
In last night’s Europa League game against Fenerbahce, Lisandro Martinez filled the void.
At other times this season, Diogo Dalot and Jonny Evans have also been used out of position.
Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia’s return dates are both unknown.
Davies would add some much needed depth to help Ten Hag’s issues on the left-hand side.
