West Ham United left-back targeted by Manchester United

Manchester United are expected to be active in the transfer market this summer.

Multiple areas of the squad are expected to be under review ahead of the new season.

Midfield remains a priority following Casemiro’s confirmed departure, but defensive reinforcements are also being assessed as the club looks to strengthen depth and balance across the pitch.

United have already been linked with Borussia Dortmund right-back Julian Ryerson, highlighting a wider focus on defensive options.

That search has now extended to the left-hand side of defence, with a new name emerging as a potential target

According to The Guardian, West Ham United defender El Hadji Malick Diouf has attracted interest from Manchester United as they weigh up a possible summer move.

The 21-year-old left-back is understood to be on United’s radar as they assess options in the position, with the club keen to add competition and long-term depth.

Diouf has impressed with his physicality and attacking intent, making him a profile that fits the modern full-back role.

United’s interest comes at a time where squad planning is being carefully considered, particularly with changes expected in midfield and defence.

While the club’s primary focus may be elsewhere, identifying younger talents who can develop within the system remains a key part of their recruitment strategy.

Diouf”s situation at West Ham could make him an attainable option, though it remains unclear whether formal talks have taken place at this stage.

The report suggests that United are currently in the process of evaluating multiple targets before making any concrete decisions.

With the summer window approaching, links like this are expected to increase as clubs across Europe begin to shape their squads.

For United, adding depth at full-back could prove important, especially if they are to compete across multiple competitions next season.
