Theo Hernandez of AC Milan is reportedly the target of Manchester United’s ‘pressing’, according to a shocking report published by Gazzetta dello Sport last Friday.
Several reports coming out of Italy suggest that the Red Devils are still in the running for the left-back position.
The 25-year-old is a subject of interest for Manchester United, according to journalist Vittorio Oreggia of MilanNews.it.
That is to say, all of Milan’s incoming traffic is connected to its outgoing traffic. I specifically know that [Manchester] United has a real interest in Theo Hernandez,” he added.
“This is a pivotal moment for understanding Milan’s incoming and outgoing goals and strategies, as well as the seasonal goals…”
The France international has reportedly caught the attention of the Red Devils, according to Calciomercato. In order to strengthen the left-back position, Erik ten Hag is said to be placing him at the top of his list.
According to reports, Manchester United has not yet taken any official action and would need to make the Rossoneri an offer of between €80 and €90 million.
Hernandez’s contract has Milan in a strong position because it expires in 2026. The threat posed by Manchester United, according to Calciomercato, “is real,” but the Italian club is unconcerned.
Last year, Old Trafford had two left-backs: Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. The Dutchman performed admirably when given the chance, but Shaw had made an impression.
It wouldn’t make sense for Manchester United to spend a lot of money on Hernández in light of this and the need to strengthen other positions, unless Ten Hag has a strategy to move the England international into a more central position.
