Manchester United have been linked with a move for Brighton and Hove Albion captain Lewis Dunk, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes (via GIVEMESPORT)).
Dunk’s top flight experience has prompted interest from United, who are said to be huge admirers of the player.
Despite signing central defenders Leny Yoroand Matthijs de Ligt in the summer, the Red Devils could be in the market for another reinforcement in this area of the pitch in 2025, with both Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof’s contracts set to expire in 12 months.
It’s understood that United would like to replace the duo with a player of similar experience and who is available at a cut-price, which Dunk is likely to be as his own deal nears its end.
Born in Brighton, Dunk joined his boyhood club at the age of 11, and eventually broke into the first team during the 2010/11 season.
Establishing himself as a staple figure in the south coast side’s back-line, the former Bristol City loanee led the team to Premier League promotion in 2017 and was eventually rewarded with captaincy at the start of the 2019/20 campaign.
Having made 459 appearances for Brighton, Dunk may be attracted to a new challenge if it presents itself.
Turning 33 in November, and with just two years left on his contract, his time in Sussex could be close to coming to an end.
