Manchester United are gearing up for a summer transfer chase — and it’s not a solo run.
The Red Devils are now in the mix to sign Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche, but they’ll need to fend off interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.
Akliouche has become one of the brightest sparks in Ligue 1. At just 23, he’s already catching the eyes of Europe’s elite with his slick footwork, sharp passing, and ability to glide past defenders.
With four goals and eight assists this season, he’s not just a winger — he’s a headache for any full-back.
United’s need for reinforcements has been made clear by a shaky season. After yet another league loss, this time to Wolves, questions continue to pile up around the team’s direction.
The club sits mid-table, with little to cheer and a long list of problems to fix. A young, hungry winger like Akliouche could offer a spark — assuming they can win the race to his signature.

But Old Trafford isn’t the only place interested in the Frenchman. Manchester City are watching closely, while PSG could also swoop in. It’s shaping up to be a full-blown winger war this summer.
According to L’Equipe, Akliouche is valued at around £60 million, a price tag that could grow if more clubs enter the chase.
His versatility makes him an even more attractive option. While he shines on the right wing, he can also slot in behind the striker or switch to the left when needed. That kind of flexibility is gold for managers.
As always with United, finances will play a role. Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has stressed the need to spend wisely.
With youth in mind, United may see Akliouche as a long-term investment — but they’ll have to move quickly, or risk getting dribbled out of the deal.
