Bournemouth defender enters Manchester United's radar

Manchester United are monitoring Frenchman Adrien Truffert, AFC Bournemouth's left-back, as one of their key targets to strengthen the left-back position and replace Luke Shaw.

TEAMtalk has reported that Truffert, aged 24, is currently valued at around £60 million after joining AFC Bournemouth from Rennes last summer.

Adrien Truffert played all the league matches last season, scoring one goal and providing five assists. He has continued his good form this season, making him a target for several major clubs.

Manchester United's desire to sign a new left-back comes after difficulties in securing Lewis Hall, who has renewed his contract with Newcastle without a release clause.

The source indicated that Manchester United are looking to bring in Truffert during January, while also being ready to try to sign him next summer if the deal cannot be settled in the winter.
