Man United must resist urge to sign Denzel Dumfries

Manchester United and numerous clubs around Europe have been presented with the opportunity to sign Inter Milan wing back Denzel Dumfries. Fabrizio Romano has recently posted on X that the Dutchman's release clause has been lowered to €25 million until the middle of July. There is no doubt that Dumfries certainly ticks some boxes for the Red Devils. Advertisement He is player who has been on the club's radar for some time as he was regularly linked with a move to Old Trafford in the Erik ten Hag years. The wing back would also fit Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 formation like a glove as he would provide immense energy and attacking threat down United's right hand side and could potentially wreak havoc with Bryan Mbeumo, should the Red Devils finally agree a fee with Brentford. Dumfries' statistics back this up as he scored 11 goals and provided six assists in all competitions last year. This included an outstanding performance against Barcelona during the Champions League semi-final, where he scored two goals and provided three assists over the two legs. Nonetheless, this is not a deal that United should pursue. Advertisement Dumfries' age There is no question that the Netherlands international is a physical specimen but age catches up with everyone. The wingback is 29 years old and his game is very connected to his incredible engine. Added into the mixture is that the Premier League is a much more fearsome physical beast in comparison to Serie A, it is logical that his impact will lessen. He would certainly add immense experience to a fresh-faced backline but United do not need another ageing star after years of making these mistakes on repeat. Where would Amad play? United struggled badly for most of last season but one of the few rays of hope was Amad. Advertisement The Ivorian destroyed numerous teams down the right hand side and has looked most at home in Amorim's system as a right wing back. In addition, with the signing of Matheus Cunha and the likely addition of Mbeumo, the number 10 slots at Old Trafford look rather crowded. Were Dumfries to be signed, Amad may struggle to find a place in the team and after years of being benched and suffering injuries, what he needs most of all next year are games to continue his development. It must also be remembered that United will only play domestic games next season, lessening their work load significantly. Blocking Jaydan Kamason's path United already have an outstanding young right wing back talent in their youth system and his name is Jaydan Kamason. Advertisement The Carrington staff have waxed lyrical over the potential of last season's FA Youth Cup star and he will surely be keen to make a strong impression on Amorim and his staff over this pre-season. With Amad being the starting right wing back, Kamason can also add youthful energy and attacking threat when called upon. Were Dumfries to sign, it would effectively end his Old Trafford senior career before it even started. Dumfries' weaknesses Finally, Dumfries is a very good player but he is far from perfect. The Athletic conclude that although 'his physical assets undoubtedly help him defensively, he is not a proficient tackler and can often get caught out of position in transition.' Advertisement Adding to this, he is also a weak passer and at 29 years old, he is unlikely to markedly improve on any of these skills. All in all, whilst moving for Dumfries at a bargain price is obviously tempting, United should keep their powder dry and trust the young hopefuls already in the Old Trafford dressing room.

(AP Photo/Brynn Anderson) MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich says attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala faces a 'lengthy' recovery from a leg fracture after his collision with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Club World Cup. Bayern said Sunday that Musiala had flown back from Florida to Munich that morning for surgery on the injury he picked up in Saturday's loss to PSG in the quarterfinals. Advertisement Bayern said doctors found Musiala 'sustained a fracture of the fibula (bone in the lower leg) associated with an ankle dislocation." 'This serious injury and the lengthy lay-off are a real shock for Jamal and us all,' Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said in a statement. "Jamal has just come back from an injury and will now be out for another long period. He'll get everything he needs from us. We'll support him intensively, be by his side and already look forward to when he's back on the pitch.' ___ AP soccer:

'Gutted' - Harry Kane pens message to Bayern Munich fans after being dumped out of FIFA Club World Cup and throws support behind team-mate Jamal Musiala after horror injury

WHAT HAPPENED? England captain Kane made an unfortunate contribution to Bayern losing 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of a global event in the United States. It was his inability to hold onto the ball in midfield that led to Desire Doue breaking the deadlock for PSG. Advertisement THE BIGGER PICTURE Kane then saw a goal disallowed for offside before Champions League winners PSG, who were reduced to nine men, wrapped up an impressive win deep into stoppage-time when substitute Ousmane Dembele found the target. WHAT KANE SAID Kane saw his much-publicised trophy drought broken in 2024-25 when landing the Bundesliga title, but posted on Instagram of seeing another bid for major silverware cut short: 'Gutted we couldn't achieve what we were working so hard to do. Now we need to rest, recover, dust ourselves down and come back fresh for the new season.' DID YOU KNOW? The 31-year-old added on seeing club colleague Musiala ruled out for several months with a badly broken ankle - with the Germany international hospitalised following a challenge with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma: 'To @jamalmusiala10 – we're with you every step of the way.' Jamal Musiala injury Bayern Munich 2025 FIFA Club World Cup WHAT NEXT FOR BAYERN? Bayern have a couple of friendly fixtures to take in - including a reunion for Kane with former club Tottenham - before opening their 2025-26 campaign with a Super Cup clash against Stuttgart on August 16.
