Transfer talk surrounding David Affengruber is intensifying, with reports suggesting Man Utd are monitoring the Elche defender closely. The player has caught the attention of several scouts as other clubs prepare for a potentially active transfer window. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Man Utd are progressing without added pressure. So far in this season, Man Utd are conceding 1.57 goals a game (11 in 7), more than they'd like compared to the Premier League standard. The hope is David Affengruber adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Man Utd have recently been linked with Raphinha, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Etta Eyong while Elche have had no rumoured targets. More on this story as it develops. Need more Man Utd transfer rumours?
