Joaquin Seys lures United as Bruges retains him
At twenty‑one, left‑back Joaquin Seys, a starter for Club Brugge and a Red Devils international, is delivering notable performances, while Manchester United have been tracking him for several months, despite Bart Verhaeghe's veto that blocked his departure this summer, probably in North Venice.
Manchester United's Persistent Interest
The interest of the Mancunians does not wane, even after Club Brugge's refusals this summer. The same veto also affected Romeo Vermant and Nicolo Tresoldi, who were likewise blocked.
Club Brugge intends to let him play at Jan Breydel Stadium for as long as possible. It plans to sell him later for a very high fee, considering him an asset capable of bringing in big money.
Transfer Project and Priorities of United
According to the English outlet TeamTalk, United have placed Seys on a shortlist of four candidates for the left‑back position. Recruiting a new full‑back is described as a priority, with the club seeking a successor or backup for Luke Shaw.
English giants eye Club Brugge wingback as future profit
Luke Shaw, thirty‑one, joined from Southampton in 2014 and is part of the Old Trafford furniture. His performances have declined today, prompting United to look for fresh blood.
During the international break, Seys silenced Ousmane Dembélé for an hour, adding a high‑level individual performance to his résumé. He had already caused serious problems for Lamine Yamal in a Champions League match against FC Barcelona, and then at the World Cup against Spain.
Thus, the current season could well be the last for Seys at Brugge before a potential move to Manchester, if the English giant maintains its interest. The player appears aware of this dynamic, taking every opportunity to boost his international profile.
