Manchester United are reportedly looking to sign a left-back this summer, with Germany international David Raum one of their top targets. According to Team Talk, Raum will be happy to move to Old Trafford this summer and compete with Luke Shaw. His current contract with RB Leipzig has a release clause worth £34 million, which could potentially be agreed upon for around £30 million. Raum joined Leipzig from TSG Hoffenheim in 2022 and has since made 143 appearances for them, scoring seven goals and providing 30 assists.
