Manchester United eye Joaquín Seys as left-back transfer option

Summary

Manchester United is prioritizing the signing of a left-back, with interest in Joaquín Seys of Club Brugge. As Luke Shaw's performance declines at age 31, Seys, 21, emerges as a potential long-term solution. Brugge may consider selling Seys for around €35 million, a shift from their earlier stance of keeping him. United's recruitment staff continues to monitor Seys, though they face competition from Arsenal and Aston Villa. The club's focus will be on acting swiftly to secure a deal for the talented defender.
