Man Utd could hijack Premier League rivals’ £25m deal as ‘offer submitted’ for No.1 target to replace Luke Shaw

Manchester United will kick off their new Premier League season at home against Fulham on Friday.

 

Ahead of the 2024/25 opener, Erik ten Hag faces a setback as Luke Shaw is sidelined with a calf injury.

 

On Tuesday, the club issued a statement regarding Shaw’s condition: “Luke Shaw will miss the opening games of the Premier League season due to a calf injury sustained at the start of pre-season training. He is working hard on his rehabilitation with a view to being available after the first international break.”

 

Man United have already bolstered their squad this summer, securing the signings of Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

 

However, Ten Hag appears to still be in the market for defensive reinforcements.

 

According to a new report from Turkish media via Sport Witness, Man United have made an offer for Ferdi Kadioglu.

 

The club is competing with Brighton for the Turkish right-back’s signature.

 

Brighton is currently in negotiations to sign Kadioglu, but Man United hopes to intercept the transfer.

The 24-year-old is reportedly eager to leave Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce after they failed to qualify for the Champions League.

 

Both clubs are vying for Kadioglu, with different financial packages on the table. Man United’s offer includes a higher initial payment, while Brighton’s proposal offers more overall when add-ons are considered.

 

Ten Hag’s interest in Kadioglu follows a season in which Shaw featured in just 12 league games due to injuries. His 2023/24 campaign was plagued by setbacks, and he played a limited role at Euro 2024, starting only one game for England.
