Manchester United is considering recruiting Bayern Munich defender Upamecano.
Give Me Sports in England "Manchester United is Bayern Munich's defender I am considering recruiting Upamecano"We want to bring in a new centre-back before the September 1 transfer window closes, and we have reportedly selected Upamecano as one of the options available for recruitment."
Upamecano is a German Bundesliga player who plays for Bayern Munich. He is famous as the central defensive partner of South Korean national defender Kim Min-jae. Upamecano has more than a year left on his contract with Munich. If they don't sell it this summer, Bayern Munich risk losing him to free agency next year.
Upamecano moved from RB Leipzig to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2021 and played a key role under Bangsang Kompany until the beginning of the 2024-2025 season. Despite a brief injury, he returned from the FIFA Club World Cup and played in all five matches for Munich, as well as starting in the quarterfinals against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Manchester United is expected to make a significant move to recruit at the end of the transfer market this summer. Currently, coach Juven Amorim is making reinforcement of goalkeepers and central midfielders a priority.
Manchester United have already invested a huge amount of money in recruiting strikers Matheus Cunha, Brian Mbommo and Benjamin Sheshko, and plan to strengthen other positions before the deadline.
Paris Saint-Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma is being discussed as a goalkeeper resource, while Brighton prospect Carlos Valieva is being discussed as a target for reinforcing midfielders. Conversations with Valieva are currently underway.
If Upamecano is recruited, he will have a world-class defender who played in the Bundesliga. He is a player who can present stability to Manchester United's unstable defense. He contributed to Bayern Munich's Bundesliga win last season, the third league title for the club.
If the move materializes, Upamecano will reunite with former Bayern Munich teammates Nusair Mazraoui and Matthias De Licht, who moved to Manchester United last summer.
