Manchester United comes after signing Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu.
The left back will be the first signing under the new United boss Ruben Amorim.
United Sources say that a deal is progressing for the 20-year-old, but Dorgu is not expected to travel to Manchester today, as is claimed in Italy. Because Amorim was unable to rely on the fitness of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, who both endured long-term injuries, Amorim made his priority in this month's transfer window.
The next arrival of Dorgu at United, in a deal worth £ 29.4 million, will probably indicate the end of Malacia's time in United, with real betis – who signed United Winger Antony last week – under the clubs that could take him with him .
Shaw was back in the training on Wednesday before the United Squad flew to Bucharest on Thursday for their Europa League meeting with Steaua.
Shaw has been excluded by injury since the beginning of December. He was only able to make three replacement performances this season, in the United matches against Ipswich Town, Bodo/Glimt and Everton. His last start in every competition was the defeat of England against Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
His appearance was the first time that Shaw has been seen on grass since the beginning of December and the left-sided role in Amorim's preference 3-4-2-1 formation has been a major problem for the former sports boss. Diogo Dalot was asked to replace the absence of Shaw and Malacia continued to keep on the sidelines despite his recent return to action.
When Amorim arrived, he designated Shaw as a player who could be the key to his new side – if he gets him fit and indeed keeps him that way. He said in December: “What I told him, like a coach was that I saw him here in the medical department. I saw him in the gym. I saw him lose weight. I saw him train. So. He did everything right .
'Sometimes, if you have one or two injuries, it is really difficult to recover. If he continues with this behavior, everything he can do, I will be here. All the staff will be here, as long as it is necessary. We believe a lot in him, he is so important to our team.
“For the future I see in this team, Luke is a very important player for us.”
