Theo Hernandez among left-back candidates for Ruben Amorim’s Man Utd rebuild as Bayern Munich rival Red Devils for AC Milan star

The Red Devils have put the France international on their list of targets for the role, Florian Plettenberg reports. However, Bayern Munich could also make a move for Hernandez next summer as they are in danger of seeing Alphonso Davies leave when his contract expires at the end of the season. Hernandez, 27, is a key player for Paulo Fonseca's Milan and has been trusted to wear the captain's armband in the absence of Davide Calabria.

It was recently reported that Davies is also an option United are looking at, though Real Madrid and Barcelona are reportedly strong contenders for his signature. United are also said to be looking at Wolves star Rayan Ait-Nouri, Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell and Benfica's Alvaro Carreras

United are in need of a new left-back due to a shortage of options. Tyrell Malacia made his first appearance in 18 months against Bodo/Glimt, while Luke Shaw featured for the first time this season when he came off the bench against Ipswich on Sunday. Their fitness issues have resulted in right-backs Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui have filled in on the left side.

Amorim will have to work with the squad at his disposal before he can bring in reinforcements, with United coming up against Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.
