Manchester United inquires about Aston Villa defender

Manchester United has made an inquiry regarding the possibility of signing Ian Maatsen, the left-back from Aston Villa, in the final days of the summer transfer window, according to "TEAMtalk".

Manchester United is targeting reinforcements for the left-back and striker positions before the transfer market closes, amid concerns over Luke Shaw's ability to handle three matches a week throughout the season, especially with the team's return to European competitions.

Lewis Hall, the Newcastle United player, is the primary target for Manchester United in the left-back position, but his club is not willing to sell during the current transfer window.

Manchester United has inquired about the possibility of signing Matson, who has started in Aston Villa's first two matches of the season, following Lucas Digne's departure to Paris Saint-Germain.

It remains unclear whether Manchester United is interested in signing Matson on loan or permanently, and Aston Villa's position regarding the departure of the Dutch player has not yet been determined.

Meanwhile, Manchester United is keeping an eye on Joshua Zirkzee's situation, as Fiorentina has made a loan offer of €5 million with a purchase option.
