Manchester United are planning to sign David Hancko this summer
Manchester United They are reportedly considering signing Feyenoord star David Hancko this summer, according to the Mirror.
After struggling with problems at left-back last season, the Red Devils are considering purchasing a new defender to reinforce this position before the start of next season.
Tyrell Malacia was injured for the whole of last season and although he has started training on the pitch, he is not likely to regain full fitness in the near future. In addition, Luke Shaw also had injury problems last season and has found it difficult to stay fit for a whole campaign in recent years.
Therefore, according to the report of the MirrorManchester United have created a shortlist of defenders to address their left-back problem and have identified Hancko as a serious option.
The report further claims that the Feyenoord star is not the only option on Ten Hag's wishlist, with Marcus Alonso and Tyrick Mitchell also on it. Chelsea The star is currently a free agent after leaving the club. Barcelonawhile the Englishman has entered the final year of his current contract, so could also be a viable option for United.
Hancko to Manchester United
Feyenoord reportedly want a fee of around £30 million to sell Hancko and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils ultimately opt to secure his signature by shelling out the reported fee.
The 26-year-old, 1.88 metres tall, is a left-footed centre-back, but is also comfortable playing as a left-back. He can play out from the back, is efficient in defensive contributions and is also good in the air.
United look set to sign a new left-footed defender to support Lisandro Martinez next season, having initially attempted to sign Jarrad Branthwaite this summer.
So, after not being able to sign the Everton The Manchester United star could now look to sign Hancko as he could provide cover in two of the positions they are looking to strengthen.
However, it will be interesting to see if the record Premier league The champions finally manage to secure Hancko's signature in this transfer Window to strengthen the defensive department.
