Man Utd join race to sign Brest left-back Bradley Locko

According Young Footeux, manchester united have joined Fulham and Nottingham Forest in the race to sign Brest left-back Bradley Locko during the summer transfer window.

Man United have struggled to find a consistent presence at left-back this season. Luke Shaw has had persistent injury problems and is no longer a reliable option for the Red Devils. Tyrell Malacia was signed to replace Shaw, but the Dutchman has been sidelined all season with a knee injury.

The club are now looking to sign a new left-back during the summer and Young Footeux They claim they have joined Fulham and Forest in pursuing Locko, who has 3 assists in 35 appearances for Brest this season. The Ligue 1 side are willing to accept a £17million package to part ways with the 22-year-old Frenchman.

Although United are linked with Locko, Young Footeux He adds that he is not the priority objective for Erik ten Hag'steam. Wolverhampton Wanderers star Rayan Ait-Nouri is the number one option to strengthen the left-back department.

Priority

United have fallen behind their opponents at left back this season. Coach Erik ten Hag has had to constantly change his personnel in the position and Diogo Dalot is currently the preferred option.

The Dutchman will want a reliable figure to compete with Shaw and Malacia. Locko would be a good signing for United. He won an impressive 6.8 duels and 2.9 tackles per Ligue 1 game last season along with 1.7 clearances.

The Frenchman also has potential in the final third, having completed 1 cross per outing. With the low price mentioned, the Red Devils could be tempted to secure his signature when the transfer window reopens this summer.

However, we will not be surprised if United give preference to signing Ait-Nouri. The Algerian has already adapted to the first divisionHis intensity and he has become one of the most sought-after left backs.

He will cost £50m at the top end but could be seen as a starter ahead of Shaw and Malacia next season.
