Manchester United Step Up Scouting of Benfica Left-Back Samuel Dahl

Benfica’s leverage from a 2029 deal could make the defender expensive due to Roma’s sell-on clause.

Overview

  • Portuguese reports on Wednesday, echoed by multiple outlets, say United have watched Samuel Dahl more than 10 times this season.
  • No formal offer has been reported, with United evaluating left-back options for the summer window.
  • Recruitment plans target depth behind Luke Shaw because of past fitness issues and a likely heavier load if European games return.
  • Dahl is under contract at Benfica until 2029, with a reported 40% sell-on to Roma that could push any fee above his roughly €12m valuation.
  • The 23-year-old has 46 appearances this season for Benfica, and José Mourinho has praised his defensive reliability and steady attacking play.
