Man Utd eye Theo Hernandez as left-back reinforcement

With Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia struggling with persistent injuries, the Red Devils are exploring options to bolster the position, and Theo Hernandez has emerged as a prime target.

The French international, who is regarded as one of the best left-backs in Europe, has been a standout performer for Milan. However, recent reports suggest the Italian club is willing to lower his asking price to £40 million, potentially opening the door for a move.

United have faced challenges on the left flank in recent seasons, often relying on makeshift options such as loanee Sergio Reguilon and Diogo Dalot to fill the gap. Adding the French defender to the squad would not only resolve an immediate need but also provide a long-term solution in a key area of the pitch.

With the January transfer window approaching, the Red Devils are expected to step up their interest in the AC Milan player. Whether Milan will part ways with one of their star players in January remains to be seen, but the reduced price tag could make negotiations more feasible for the Premier League club.
