Manchester United is reportedly tracking Daniel Svensson, a defender for Borussia Dortmund, as the summer transfer window approaches, according to TEAMtalk. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are also showing interest in the Bundesliga full-back, indicating a competitive race for his signature.

United has dispatched scouts multiple times this season to observe Dortmund, with Svensson being a key focus. The scouting mission appears to extend beyond just him, as other talents like Jobe Bellingham, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Karim Adeyemi are also on their radar.

Svensson has enjoyed a breakout season in Germany after joining Dortmund from FC Nordsjælland on loan in early 2025, before the deal became permanent. Dortmund's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, has praised Svensson for his intensity, flexibility, and professionalism, traits that have attracted attention from English clubs.

In the 2025/26 season, Svensson has made:

• 32 Bundesliga appearances
• 2 goals and 2 assists
• 191 tackles won
• 560 sprints
• 2,584 intensive runs

His ability to play as a left-back, as well as on both sides of defense and even in midfield, adds to his appeal. With Luke Shaw's injury history raising concerns, United is seeking more depth and competition in the left-back position.

The reported fee for Svensson is around £35 million, which, while not cheap, seems reasonable for a 24-year-old under contract until 2029.

Svensson may not be the flashiest signing, but he represents a sensible addition for Manchester United, emphasizing the need for reliable and tactically flexible players who can endure a demanding season. His versatility could enhance United's squad balance as they aim for success in a high-intensity league.
