MU are looking to strengthen their left-back position in the January 2025 transfer window.

Nuno Mendes responds as Man Utd submit offer to sign £34m PSG defender | Football | Metro News

According to information from the British media, the Red Devils have sent an offer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to recruit star Nuno Mendes, the player considered their transfer priority in the near future.

United are currently struggling at left-back with Luke Shaw having regular fitness issues and Tyrell Malacia failing to live up to expectations after returning from injury. With the need to find a consistent left-back, Nuno Mendes is seen as a potential option, especially as the player is unhappy with his situation at PSG.

Nuno Mendes, the 22-year-old Portuguese, is currently unhappy with his wages and treatment at PSG. Although his contract runs until 2026, Mendes has expressed his desire to leave the Parc des Princes in the January transfer window or in the summer of 2025. He has a close relationship with coach Ruben Amorim, who gave Mendes his chance at Sporting Lisbon and helped him develop into a talented defender.

While United are keen on signing Mendes, the deal could prove financially difficult to pull off. After spending heavily in the summer transfer window of 2024, United will have to take a close look at their finances. PSG, despite Mendes’ unhappiness, have no plans to sell the player, and the transfer fee may not come cheap.

In addition to Nuno Mendes, MU is also considering other options such as RB Leipzig left-back David Raum. The Red Devils have negotiated to sign Raum in the summer of 2024 but failed, and he could still be a viable alternative.

Adding a quality left-back would be a key part of Ruben Amorim's strategy to strengthen his squad, as Manchester United continue to search for consistency this season.
