Eyes on Turkey, Manchester United interested in Champions League star

United, struggling to find its rhythm in the league and being expelled from the last division of the Champions League, where it shared a group with Galatasaray, is looking to rebuild its defensive line. With Raphael Varane and Eric Bailly's contracts set to expire and contract extension talks with Varane stalled, the Red Devils are exploring their options.

ESPN reports that United's initial summer central defender list included Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich) and Jean-Clair Todibo (Nice). Now Sacha Boey's name has emerged as a contender for the Reds' right-back spot as part of the Reds' plan for a defensive overhaul.

His impressive performance against United in the Champions League group stage is said to have caught the attention of the Red Devils. United are reportedly considering a summer transfer for Boey, who has impressed since joining Galatasaray from Rennes for €1.15m in 2021. In 82 appearances for the Turkish giants, he has already racked up 4 goals and 4 assists.

Boey statistics

Boey has two goals in 30 games for Galatasaray in all competitions this season. The Lions are in the middle of the title race and competing in the Europa League, so ideally they don't want to lose Boey in January, but would be open to an end-of-season transfer exit for the right price. Boey is under contract until 2025, with 12 months left on his contract this summer, making it an ideal time to part ways if Galatasaray plans to sell.
