Overview

• Dayot Upamecano is in the final year of his contract at Bayern Munich without a new deal in place.
• Manchester United have tracked the French centre-back’s situation but have not engaged in formal negotiations with Bayern.
• Bayern Munich are concerned about a repeat of Leroy Sané’s free transfer and could be inclined to sell this summer.
• United’s heavy summer outlay has left them under Financial Fair Play constraints that require player departures or creative deals.
• Upamecano’s ball-playing ability and strong pass-completion rates suit Ruben Amorim’s preferred three-man defensive system.
