Manchester United have made an offer to sign PSG star Nuno Mendes

According RMC sport, manchester united have made an offer to sign Paris Saint-Germain defender Nuno Mendes amid his current contract standoff with the French team.

The Portuguese star has been a key player for the Ligue 1 champions, but his future is uncertain as his contract expires in 18 months. PSG have started talks with the left-back for a long-term extension, but the former Sporting Lisbon player is reluctant to accept the club's low salary package.

Man United have already made an offer for the highly-rated defender, but it is unclear whether he will be allowed to leave in January. PSG has no plans to sell him at the moment and remains optimistic about a renewal.

United have fallen behind their first division rivals in the left back department. They had Diogo Dalot operating as a makeshift left back last season with injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

Dalot has continued from the left side of defense this season, but has lacked the same consistency. His performances have declined since moving to left-back under Ruben Amorim.

Malacia has also failed to impress on his return from injury while Shaw remains out. United need an upgrade and Mendes would be a good acquisition as he can provide the right balance in attack and defence.
