Manchester United are reportedly planning to make a move to sign AFC Bournemouth star Adrien Truffert TEAMtalk.
After Milos Kerkez’s switch to Liverpool, the Cherries decided to strengthen the left back position by signing the Frenchman from Stade Rennais last summer.
The 24-year-old has had a good start in the Premier League this season, registering a single assist in 16 appearances. In addition, he has helped his team keep five clean sheets.
Now, TEAMtalk claim Man Utd have registered their interest in Truffert as Ruben Amorim is keen to strengthen the left-back’s position.
After closely monitoring his development, the Red Devils’ recruitment team rated the defender highly and were able to make a concrete approach to securing his services.
The report further claims that Truffert is not the only Bournemouth player on United’s radar, with Antoine Semenyo, Tyler Adams and Alex Scott also on their wishlist.
The France international, who recently moved to the Vitality Stadium, still has four and a half years left on his current contract and is valued at around £17million. Transfer market. Andoni Iraola’s team is therefore in no hurry to cash in on him next year.
Hit two Man Utd
Man Utd have struggled on the left side of defense in recent years. Amid the injury problems of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, they were left without a specialist option in the position for almost two seasons.
That’s why Ruben Amorim decided to tackle this problem by buying Patrick Dorgu from Lecce last winter. However, he is still very young and has needed time to adapt to the Premier League.
Furthermore, Malacia has fallen out of favor under the Portuguese boss, while Shaw plays as an LCB. So Amorim has regularly used Diogo Dalot in the LWB position this season.
Truffert is an energetic, attack-oriented full-back and is efficient at delivering excellent crosses from wide areas. So he could be a perfect option to play in Amorim’s system, should United ultimately choose to sign him.
However, it will be interesting to see whether the Old Trafford club will ultimately make a concrete move to secure his services in January or next summer.
