Eintracht Frankfurt star Nathaniel Brown as a potential target, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemesport.com\/db\/sports-team\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\"

summer.<\/p>\n<p>United scouts were reportedly in attendance for Tottenham\u2019s 2-0 win over Frankfurt on Wednesday, as Brown completed 90 minutes in the Champions League encounter.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old is expected to be closely monitored ahead of the summer market, as United assess whether to formalise their interest in the <a

href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\/man-utd-transfer-news-nathaniel-brown-eintracht-frankfurt-sources\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TEAMtalk<\/a>, Brown has no shortage of suitors in the Premier League, having been on the radar of Arsenal and Manchester City over the past couple of months.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old is likely to leave Frankfurt in the summer, with any deal expected to cost in excess of \u00a340m.<\/p>\n<p>United have reportedly identified a new left-back as one of their three priority signings after the season, along with a new midfielder and a forward.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils have yet to welcome any new signings in January and are not expected to do so, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemesport.com\/crystal-palace-man-utd-transfer-news-joshua-zirkzee-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Joshua Zirkzee could be allowed to leave before Monday\u2019s deadline<\/a> after struggling for minutes under interim head coach Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n<p>United currently have Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia as left-back options, but with the Dutchman\u2019s deal expiring after the season, the club are likely to seek reinforcements in the position.<\/p>\n<p>While Patrick Dorgu is admired internally, the Dane is viewed more as a wide player than a defender, following his goalscoring displays against Manchester City and Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>                        Harry Maguire Unlikely to Stay<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"1650\"

Maguire, Casemiro and Tom Heaton\u2019s deals all expiring.<\/p>\n<p>While Casemiro has announced he will be leaving Old Trafford at the end of his deal, Maguire is also likely to head in the same direction.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemesport.com\/man-utd-harry-maguire-summer-exit-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">United have yet to offer a contract extension to the 32-year-old defender<\/a> and appear unlikely to do so, as they are keen to see Maguire\u2019s minutes go to Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven next season.<\/p>\n<p>Maguire is believed to have interest from multiple Serie A and Premier League clubs, with Italian sides already making enquiries with a view to a pre-contract agreement.<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"440\"
