Manchester United eye Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch as injury concerns rise

Summary

Manchester United is considering a move for VfB Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch as defensive struggles continue this season. The Red Devils have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League after conceding eight goals in five matches. Stuttgart reportedly has an asking price of 50 to 60 million euros for the 20-year-old, with multiple clubs monitoring his progress. United's defensive issues have been compounded by injuries to key players, including Matthijs de Ligt. A January transfer is unlikely, but Jeltsch could be a target for next summer if United meets Stuttgart's valuation.
