Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on David Raum amid rumors that the German left-back may be open to a move to Manchester United. The Red Devils are currently short on left-back options, with Luke Shaw's contract set to expire in 2027 and Patrick Dorgu struggling in the role. While United's other left-back choices are Noussair Mazraoui and the inexperienced Harry Amass, Raum's contract expiration in less than a year could make him an attractive proposition for the club.
United's pursuit of Raum comes after failed attempts to sign Barcelona's Alejandro Balde and Newcastle United's Lewis Hall this summer. With a new striker now a priority for 2027, Raum's availability on a Bosman transfer would provide United with extra funds for other areas of the pitch. However, Brazil's Gabriel Jesus remains their preferred option for the left-back position, despite his new deal and high price tag.
Meanwhile, Barcelona's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could also be a potential target for United, but he is unlikely to be cheap either. Raum, who has excelled in the Bundesliga over the past couple of seasons, has made six starts for Red Bull Leipzig this season. Fabrizio Romano, a respected journalist, has highlighted Raum's situation as one to watch in 2027, given the contract situation and the interest from several top clubs in Europe.
The German left-back's international experience and solid performances make him a player to watch for United's upcoming transfer window.
