Manchester United and Liverpool monitor Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw
Summary

Manchester United and Liverpool are tracking Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw as they evaluate potential defensive reinforcements. Despite the interest from these clubs, Newcastle has no intention of selling the player, who is under contract until 2029. Reports indicate Newcastle would seek a fee in the range of £65m to £70m for the defender. United currently faces defensive struggles, having conceded two goals in each of their opening three matches of the 2026/27 Premier League season. The club has navigated recent injury issues involving Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, and Matthijs de Ligt. While the interest in Thiaw is active, there have been no formal negotiations or direct discussions between the clubs. Manchester United is scheduled to play Sabah on Thursday in the Champions League.
