Are Bayern becoming Man United's supermarket?

At one point, Manchester United and Bayern Munich were fierce rivals in European football. After all, the two sides played one of the greatest Champions League finals ever in 1999. However, the Red Devils and the Bavarians seem to have recently become good business partners.

Owen Hargreaves in 2007 and Bastian Schweinsteiger in 2015 were the first to move from Allianz Arena to Old Trafford, but these transfers have lately become more frequent. Bayern loaned Marcel Sabitzer to United in 2023, while the Premier League side recently splashed out €60 million for the Bavarians' duo - Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

Still, the Englishmen apparently do not want to stop there. After the alleged interest in Bayern's Leroy Sane and Leon Goretzka, the latest information claim that the Red Devils want Alphonso Davies. As per Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Canadian is United's target for the June transfer window, and they are keen on trying to bring him, even though the chances are low.

To finish the Galacticos 2.0 masterpiece, Florentino needs two impeccable full-backs

The defender's contract with Bayern expires in June and, although the negotiations are currently on hold, the two parties could continue the talks in the future. However, an even bigger obstacle for the English giants is Real Madrid's interest in Davies. Los Blancos see him as an ideal solution for their left flank, and his eventual free agency would be a perfect opportunity for Florentino Perez to snatch him. Regardless, it seems that another transfer saga is upon us.
