Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on the performances of Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey, with his future currently the subject of much speculation.

The 23-year-old put in a strong performance in his side's 3-2 win over Man United at Old Trafford in the Champions League at the start of last month.

Boey has played 19 times for the Turkish giants this season, and he found the back of the net in their opening Champions League group-stage fixture with Copenhagen.

Arsenal are said to be admirers of the Frenchman, while a number of other major European clubs are believed to have been scouting him during the 2023-24 campaign.

According to Sportx.com, Man United are weighing up an approach in 2024, with Galatasaray thus far unable to sign him to a new deal, with his current terms expiring in 2025.

The right-back started his professional career with Rennes before making the move to Galatasaray in the summer of 2021.

Boey has scored three times and registered four assists in 71 appearances for his Turkish club in all competitions, and he helped them win the Super Lig last season.

Man United have struggled defensively this season, with injuries to a number of important players making it difficult for head coach Erik ten Hag to name a consistent back four.

Diogo Dalot has recently been the first-choice right-back in the absence of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but the former struggled against Newcastle United in the EFL Cup on Wednesday and was withdrawn at the break.

Wan-Bissaka is now back from a hamstring issue, replacing Dalot off the bench in the 3-0 defeat to Newcastle in the last-16 stage of the EFL Cup.

Dalot signed a new contract with Man United over the summer, but Wan-Bissaka's existing deal is due to expire next year, and there remain doubts over his long-term future at the club.

Right-back is believed to have been an area that Ten Hag wanted to strength over the summer, but Wan-Bissaka's form in the second half of last season led to a rethink.

The Red Devils were again without their two first-choice centre-backs against Newcastle, with Lisandro Martinez recovering from a foot operation and Raphael Varane unwell, while Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia remain on the sidelines through injury.

Man United will be aiming to bounce back from successive 3-0 losses to Manchester City and Newcastle at Old Trafford when they head to Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. body check tags ::
