Man United target Nuno Mendes wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain
Manchester United are expected to target a new left-back next year, with Ruben Amorim identifying the position as one of the weakest in the squad.
Luke Shaw’s fitness issues and Tyrell Malacia’s struggles have forced the Man United manager to play Diogo Dalot in this position, which is not his natural position.
This has been problematic for the team’s balance in Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation and he is keen to bring a new left-back to Old Trafford soon.
One of Man United’s target players is Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes.
The Portuguese played two years with Amorim at Sporting from 2020 to 2022 and the Man United manager knows him well.
according to RMC SportsMendes wants to leave PSG as his contract talks with the Ligue 1 side have stalled.
The player believes he is not being offered the wage package he deserves while being a regular starter for them.
Nuno Mendes at Man United?
The United star’s agent is open to a possible move
Mendes has rejected all offers made by the club so far and his current deal runs out in 2026, meaning a decision on his future must be made next year.
According to the report, the Red Devils have already made a bid to sign the PSG star, but it is also mentioned that the French giants are hoping to agree an extension with the left-back.
A move in the January transfer window is complicated at this stage, so any move to Old Trafford would have to wait until next year’s summer transfer window.
The futures of Shaw and Malacia at Old Trafford are uncertain at the moment and both could be moved away from the club under Amorim’s leadership.
The Premier League giants have a big decision to make regarding the futures of Shaw and Malacia, with the former largely unavailable due to fitness issues, while the latter has struggled to perform well since his return from a long-term injury.
united head Amorim want the club to tie down Harry Maguire to a new contract as the coach admires the defender.
