Manchester United weigh up move for Nicolas Tagliafico

AZ Alkmaar v AFC Ajax - KNVB Beker

With Alex Telles reportedly set to leave the club come summer, Manchester United are considering a move for Ajax star Nicolas Tagliafico, as per reports. The Argentine, who has made a name for himself as an all-action left-back with the Amsterdam club, is reportedly set to leave the club in the summer.

It remains to be seen if the 28-year-old will settle for a second-string role as Manchester United's Luke Shaw is currently one of the most in-form players in world football, and appears unlikely to be benched by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The left-back has played 39 games across all competitions this season and is on Leeds United's radar as well.

Liverpool keeping tabs on Jadon Sancho

While Manchester United still retain a strong interest in Jadon Sancho after failing to seal a move for him last summer, they might face competition for him this year as Liverpool have entered the fray for his signature. The English star hasn't had the best of seasons for Borussia Dortmund but is not short of suitors ahead of the summer window.

79 - Jadon Sancho has been involved in 79 league goals before turning 21 today. No English player's been involved in as many before their 21st birthday within the top 5 Euro leagues since 1992. Special. @OptaAnalyst is now live! The new website for data-driven storytelling.

With Mohamed Salah being linked with moves away from the club, reports suggest that Liverpool view Sancho as a replacement for the Egyptian should he depart from Anfield this summer. The English star could be available for a much lesser price than the €120m that BVB quoted last year.
