Manchester United have the chance to sign one of AC Milan’s best players next summer, according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.
The Red Devils have had mixed fortunes since the international break under new manager Ruben Amorim.
They began with two wins and one draw in all competitions before suffering back-to-back losses.
Amorim has already identified the need for potential upgrades, and he has set his sights on a new left wing-back.
Milan could reportedly be forced to contemplate Theo Hernandez’s exit if he does not renew.
They are likely to hold out for £41 million to sell Hernandez next summer despite his deal expiring in June 2026.
United are one of the main admirers of the Real Madrid graduate alongside Bayern Munich.
Red Devils could capitalise on contract stand-off
Hernandez is predominantly a left-back with over 300 appearances in the position duirng his career.
However, the 27-year-old has also impressed as a central defender for the Rossoneri this campaign.
The Frenchman has excelled with his all-round attributes, which suit the left wing-back role.
He managed 16 goal contributions last term and has added another four this term.
Hernandez has a 90 percent passing accuracy in Serie A this season and has won 63% of his duels.
United chief executive officer Omar Berrada appears keen on bringing him to Old Trafford, and the question remains whether Amorim will give the green light.
The 27-year-old is in the prime of his career. United will likely want to lower the initial transfer fee by including performance-based add-ons.
