The Frenchman has consistently been linked with a switch to Old Trafford over recent seasons having fallen out of favor with the German giants. The 26-year-old made 25 Bundesliga appearances last term but is no longer guaranteed his first-team place in Bavaria following the summer arrival of Noussair Mazraoui, who is being increasingly preferred at right-back by Julian Nagelsmann. With the Frenchman’s contract expiring in the summer of 2024 and a standoff over a new contract at the Allianz Arena, speculation regarding his future has ramped up…
