Ornstein hints Manchester United could sign underrated Premier League gem

Manchester United are still scouring the market for a new left-back and one intriguing option to watch out for could be Bournemouth’s Adrien Truffert.

The 24-year-old has emerged as one of a number of impressive performers in this Bournemouth side in recent times, and seems likely to earn himself a big move before long.

While there is not yet a concrete link with Man Utd, David Ornstein has hinted that it could be a potential transfer that makes sense.

Responding to several questions from fans in a Q&A with the Athletic, Ornstein discussed players who could be leaving Bournemouth and dropped an intriguing hint about Truffert.

Could Manchester United make a move for Adrien Truffert?

“I don’t think Bournemouth are looking to shift any of their players this season, but next season’s a different matter,” Ornstein said.

“So there could be really interesting situations around Junior Kroupi, around Rayan, around Scott, and around one that I don’t think anyone has really mentioned yet: Adrien Truffert.

“Not many clubs recruited in that left-back position, which means there’s going to be a need on the horizon. Truffert has a really good age profile (he’s 25 in November). He’s the sort of player that you could see moving.
