Sky Sports - Man Utd now want Germany int’l star who is a very good fit for Amorim’s system, concrete talks held

0

Manchester United have RB Leipzig left-back David Raum on the shortlist for the vacant left-back position, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The Red Devils want to bolster their defensive options, and the Germany international is considered to be a very good fit for manager Ruben Amorim’s new system.

Concrete talks were held between Man United and Raum last summer, and both parties could return to the discussion table ahead of the next summer transfer window

Luke Shaw has struggled to maintain his fitness, while Tyrell Malacia recently returned to action after almost two years out.

The Dutchman is still a long way from getting back to his best, judging by his display in the Europa League last week.

Raum is currently out of action with an ankle injury but is expected to return to full fitness soon, and selling him at the end of the season could be the best time for Leipzig to make the most money.

The 26-year-old has recorded an assist in six Bundesliga appearances this term after ending last season with two goals and ten assists in 31 league games.

He can also play on both wings, and crossing and taking set-pieces are among his key attacking strengths.

Raum can also hold on to the ball comfortably and is excellent at blocking the ball, and Amorim could do with such an option in his team.

Man United striking duo Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have shown in recent games that they excel in a system where the wingers know how to deliver the perfect crosses.

The Red Devils need quality wing-backs if they want to succeed with Amorim’s system, and signing players like Raum would help their cause.
