Man Utd want Bundesliga star to compete with Shaw

Manchester United are keen on landing Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nathaniel Brown to compete with Luke Shaw for the left-back position next season, according to Teamtalk.

The Red Devils are expected to pursue a new left-back in the summer, considering Patrick Dorgu is more comfortable as a winger. The Dane has been vulnerable defensively.

Brown has been earmarked as the perfect target by the Mancunian giants and they were recently monitoring him during Tottenham's 2-0 win over Frankfurt in the Champions League.

Brown has played as a left-back or left wing-back for the Bundesliga giants this campaign. He has registered six goal contributions from 29 appearances for the German club so far.

Eintracht expect him to pursue a new challenge away from the club in the summer and Bild claim that it will take at least £40 million to prise him away from the Bundesliga heavyweights.

Arsenal and Manchester City have also been linked with him, but it seems unlikely that the duo will compete with United for his services.
