Manchester United are reportedly mulling over a move for AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez.
That’s according to a report by Fichajes, and we’d maybe take this rumour with a pinch of salt…
Still, their report suggests that Erik ten Hag has identified the 25-year-old to bolster his squad as they look to mount a worthy Premier League title challenge next season.
Hernandez is valued at around €60 million by United, which again may prove how unlikely a bid is considering the club’s tight transfer budget this summer.
The Frenchman has played a pivotal role for his side since arriving in 2019 and now regularly dons the captain’s armband for the European giants in Davide Calabria’s absence.
Stretty News’ verdict
Ultimately, the chances of this deal happening are very. very slim. Even aside from what Milan would demand, of all the positions that United need to strengthen right now, a new left-back is almost the least of their concerns.
Luke Shaw is on the back of a fine season yet again in which he went from strength to strength under Ten Hag. When he is rested or injured, Tyrell Malacia comes in and does the job perfectly.
