Man United Identify Joaquin Seys as Long-Term Option at Left-Back

The club views the 21-year-old as a developmental understudy to Luke Shaw, with any move likely to hinge on Club Brugge’s valuation and his contract to 2029.

Overview

  • Reports on Sunday say Manchester United have been tracking Joaquin Seys but have not yet made a formal approach to Club Brugge.
  • Club Brugge manager Ivan Leko described Seys’s potential as 'incredible' and said the club would find it hard to reject a substantial offer.
  • Seys is a versatile full-back who impressed for Belgium at the World Cup and can play on both sides of the defence.
  • His contract at Club Brugge runs until the summer of 2029, a factor that could push up any transfer price or require extended negotiation.
  • United see signing a young left-back as part of Michael Carrick’s succession plan for Luke Shaw, with Lewis Hall remaining a pricier, less likely alternative.
