Theo Hernandez - France
Manchester United have a squad full of mediocre players and their performances this season reflect exactly that. They are currently 13th in the table with 22 points from 17 games and the change of head coach hasn’t changed the situation yet.

So, United have to strengthen a number of positions and one of them is the LWB role. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are the two options Ruben Amorim currently has.
Shaw has continued to struggle with injury problems and has been ruled out for several weeks once again having returned to action recently.
On the other hand, Malacia was out injured for almost 18 months and since returning, he has been average in the left wing back position.
Therefore, Man Utd must sign a new LWB next year and they are looking to do exactly that as Milan Live have reported that the Red Devils are ready to sign AC Milan star, Theo Hernandez.
The Frenchman has entered the final 18 months of his current contract at San Siro Stadium but the Rossoneri have been struggling to find an agreement with him to extend the deal.
The player’s relationship with new manager, Paulo Fonseca, has even deteriorated in recent times, hence things look complicated regarding and he is increasingly likely to leave the Italian giants next year.
In such a scenario, Man Utd want to take advantage of this situation and are ready to pounce to lure Theo to Old Trafford. It has previously been stated that Fonseca’s side would be open to accepting an offer of around £41.5m to let their star man leave.
Hernandez has the experience of winning Serie A with Milan, while he has been a key player in Didier Deschamps’ France national team.
The defender is effective going forward so he would be an excellent option to play in Amorim’s LWB position if United hire him. What do you think?
