Manchester United have expressed interest in signing AC Milan star

Ruben Amorim wants Manchester United to rebuild with quality players in the summer

Manchester United are going through one of their darkest moments in recent years. With a Premier League campaign that has left little room for pride and a football that has failed to convince either friends or strangers, the club are in need of serious change. Performance has been far from the minimum expected, and the pressure has multiplied. Many players have not performed as expected, the team has failed in key matches, and the coach’s future is at stake in the Europa League final. The fans demand solutions, not promises, and the sporting management seem to know it.

Manchester United have expressed interest in signing AC Milan Defender Theo Hernandez this summer

It is in this context that a piece of news has started to make the rounds. According to information from the Italian media Tuttomercato, as relayed by Give Me Sport, the Frenchman Theo Hernandez is in the Red Devils’ sights. The Milan left-back, who does not look favourably on staying at a club outside the Champions League, could leave the San Siro after six years.

His contract expires in 2026, but his price would be around €30 million. Real Madrid, one of the possible destinations, have already been ruled out by a technical decision. Manchester United are still looking for a left-back after losing the race for Alphonso Davies, and the opportunity with Theo could fit both in terms of situation and cost.

Manchester United’s need is clear; they have no real depth on the left flank and have had to improvise on too many occasions. Theo would fit in well, especially if Rúben Amorim keeps the 3-4-2-1 formation he used this season. In that system, the Frenchman would move with ease, covering the whole of the flank with his stride, reaching the box with power, and giving width to the attack. His ability to combine speed with physical traits gives him an advantage against tight defences. It is a difficult profile to find: offensive, but with tactical awareness, aggressive without losing control.
