Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Juventus left-back Juan Cabal as they eye a potential January move.

Cabal, 23, joined Juventus from Hellas Verona for €12.8 million in July, but he is already being linked with an exit after an impressive start to life in Turin.

His form for Thiago Motta’s side has attracted the attention of Man Utd and the Red Devils are now monitoring his progress at the Allianz Stadium, according to Tutto Juve.

Man Utd scouts are reportedly keeping a close eye on Cabal’s progress and the Premier League giants could “evaluate an offer in the coming months.”

Juventus value Cabal at roughly €30m, as per Tutto Juve, although the Old Lady are unlikely to let him leave the club in January.

The Colombian, who is yet to make his senior international debut, has started each of Juventus’ three Serie A matches so far this season, although he was replaced at half-time during their 0-0 draw against AS Roma on Sunday evening.

Man Utd also want Antonee Robinson

Man Utd’s pursuit of Cabal comes amid an injury crisis at left-back. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are both currently sidelined, and Diogo Dalot has been forced to fill in during the opening three matches of the new campaign.

In addition to Cabal, Man Utd are also interested in Fulham star Antonee Robinson, as per The Sun.

Erik ten Hag’s side are reportedly eager to sign the USMNT left-back during the January transfer window, with Fulham set to demand a fee of at least €35m for the defender.

Robinson’s contract at Craven Cottage isn’t due to expire until 2028, but Man Utd are set to pursue a move for the American when the January window opens.
