Man United are showing interest in 22 year old Brazilian star. The player is highly versatile and is wanted by Tottenham Hotspur as well.
Man United are headed for some big changes in their squad. They will be seen moving on from multiple current players. At the same time, they will bring in new players. As of now, the club is likely to add new full-backs to their side.
United are said to part ways with Luke Shaw this summer. The Englishman has been highly injury prone in recent seasons. On the other hand, Tyrell Malacia has already been sent away from Old Trafford. Hence, the Red Devils will try to bring in a new left-back.
On the other hand, Tottenham are keen to improve their squad fully. They are headed back to UCL football and want to keep on winning major trophies. Udogie has been inconsistent this season and hence the club will try to find competition for him. Now, both United and Spurs have one common left-back on radar.
