Manchester United is determined to challenge Real Madrid in the race to sign the talented Alphonso Davies, the left-back of Bayern Munich. While the Spanish club seemed to be the favorite to secure the Canadian international, United's growing interest could change the landscape, as they seek to strengthen their defense with an elite player who can provide solidity and speed on the wing.
Alphonso Davies, 24, is one of the most sought-after pieces in the European market, and his contract with Bayern Munich expires in 2025, opening the possibility of a pre-contractual agreement starting in January 2024. United, aware of this opportunity, would be willing to meet the player's salary demands, which are around £240,000 per week, a high figure but in line with his performance and market potential.

The need for the Red Devils to have a top-tier left-back has become urgent, as both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have faced injury and performance issues. A player of Davies' caliber, known for his speed and attacking ability, could fill that gap and bring balance to Erik ten Hag's defensive system.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid continues to view the Canadian as a priority to bolster their defense. Although the club has been cautious about salary matters, they do not rule out competing for Davies, who could fit perfectly into their squad renewal strategy.
The outcome of this battle between two giants of world football promises to be an interesting episode in the upcoming transfer market. While Davies is at the peak of his career, both United and Madrid would be willing to make a significant effort to secure his signing and enjoy his prime years.
