Red Devils Eye Young, Composed Centre-Back to Strengthen Defensive Line for Long-Term Future.

David Affengruber

Manchester United have reportedly set their sights on David Affengruber, the 23-year-old Austrian centre-back who has been impressing for Elche in La Liga this season. Known for his composure on the ball and aerial dominance, Affengruber is also comfortable stepping into midfield, making him a versatile option for defensive setups.

Affengruber has drawn comparisons to a young Matthijs de Ligt, thanks to his strong physical presence, intelligence in positioning, and ability to drive play from the back. With Leny Yoro currently a key figure in United’s defense, the Austrian is seen as an ideal long-term partner to complement the Frenchman.

This season, Affengruber has been ever-present for Elche, featuring in all but one league match, and has quickly become one of the standout performers in a side battling in La Liga following promotion. United are reportedly keen to secure his services to bolster defensive depth and plan for the future.
