German football reporter Christian Falk confirmed Manchester United’s genuine interest in Alphonso Davies this morning. The BILD Group football head shared the update in his CF Bayern Insider column. Falk stated that United monitored the Bayern Munich left-back closely while his contract situation remained unresolved. United joined several other clubs at the negotiating table during that uncertain period. The Canadian international eventually signed a new deal at the Allianz Arena. This move made any potential transfer much more expensive and complex for interested teams.
Christian Falk Confirms Manchester United’s Interest in Alphonso Davies, But Bayern Munich Will Not Sell Cheaply
Falk also clarified the current situation between the two clubs. He confirmed that United still track Davies. However, Manchester United have not yet sent a formal offer to Bayern Munich. Falk also revealed internal discussions at Bayern. Club officials now wonder if Davies’ recurring injuries mean they need a reliable backup. Hiroki Itō previously covered that role well. Davies suffered a serious ACL injury in March 2025. He then faced another setback with a hamstring strain during his recovery. Falk noted that Bayern would likely discuss a deal if United offered enough money. They would not simply dismiss a large bid.
Bayern Munich expect at least £70 million for the 25-year-old. His current contract runs until 2030. United have also been linked with Fulham’s Antonee Robinson as a cheaper option. Liverpool have now entered that race as well. Old Trafford officials view the left-back position as a top priority. This follows Luke Shaw’s constant fitness struggles throughout the season.

Does Signing a Frequently Injured Davies Solve Manchester United’s Left-Back Crisis?
The situation at the heart of this transfer story is quite clear. Manchester United want to fix the left-back spot ruined by injuries. Yet, they are chasing a 25-year-old who spent much of the last year recovering from an ACL tear and a hamstring strain. Davies has started only four Bundesliga games all season. Spending over £70 million on him is a massive gamble. United might not get the explosive, peak version of Davies. They would get a player whose body keeps breaking down at the top level. The club would simply be hoping a new environment changes that trend.
