THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Red Devils are all set to shell out €35m (£29.3m/$36m) for the young full-back as they look to strengthen the left side of their backline. The left-back position has been a troublesome one for the club in recent years, due to the long-term injuries of Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw. Ruben Amorim will now hope that the issues will be over with the signing of the Denmark international.
