Man United faces challenge in signing David Raum as club eyes free transfer

Summary

Manchester United has struggled to fill the left-back position this season, with Luke Shaw missing three games so far. United sought alternatives like RB Leipzig's David Raum and Manchester City's Rayan Ait-Nouri but ended the transfer window without additions. As Raum's contract expires in July 2027, Juventus is reportedly monitoring his situation and may attempt to secure him on a free transfer. The urgency for United to address their defensive issues grows as they prepare for their next transfer negotiations.
