Erik ten Hag wants Manchester United to sign this left-back as soon as possible. He could be Ten Hag’s first signing
According to German publication Kicker via Metro UK, incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag wants the Red Devils to sign Stuttgart left-back Borna Sosa.
The report adds that Ten Hag is a big fan of the 24-year-old and wants to link up with him as soon as possible when he takes over in Manchester.
The Stuttgart left-back could become Ten Hag’s first signing as Manchester United boss.
The 24-year-old joined Stuttgart from his first club Dinamo Zagreb in 2018 and has been a regular in the first team over the last two seasons.
Sosa could be available for around €25m (£21.4m) and immediately become part of Ten Hag’s extensive rebuild with the Red Devils.
The 24 year old left-back is under contract at Stuttgart until 2025, having last signed an extension in 2020.
Stuttgart would not be keen to get rid of Sosa, but they are aware that if Manchester United come calling with a good offer then they will not stand in the Croatian’s way of a move to Old Trafford.
Sosa’s arrival at Manchester United means the Red Devils will have to sell either Alex Telles or Luke Shaw this summer. Brandon Williams, who has spent the season on loan at Norwich City, might have also have to move on.
