Manchester United revive interest in Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies

Alphonso Davies Bayern

Premier League giants Manchester United are weighing up a move for Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies once the summer transfer window opens.

The Canadian international had previously been on United’s radar last summer when his contract situation at the German club was uncertain.

However, their hopes of agreeing a deal were dashed after he committed his future to Bayern by signing a long-term extension until 2030.

Meanwhile, injuries have disrupted Davies’ momentum this season. The 25-year-old has struggled to fully recover from the ACL injury he suffered in 2025, with recurring setbacks limiting his involvement to just 13 appearances across all competitions. As a result, Bayern could be open to letting him leave at the end of the campaign.

According to reports, Manchester United’s interest has not faded, and they could return with a concrete offer once the transfer window opens.

A squad rebuild is expected at Old Trafford this summer, with the left-back position identified as one of the areas that needs improvement.

Davies is viewed as a clear upgrade on the current options. Luke Shaw has continued to struggle with injuries, while Tyrell Malacia has yet to fully convince since his move from PSV Eindhoven.

Meanwhile, Patrick Dorgu has impressed in a more advanced role and is expected to continue playing further forward once he returns to full fitness.

The three-time European champions would likely need to spend heavily to secure Davies’ signature, and qualifying for the Champions League could be a key factor in convincing the defender.

For now, Davies’ main focus will be on regaining full fitness and returning to top form as he eyes a key role for Canada at the upcoming World Cup, before making any final decision about his future.
