Manchester United are reportedly showing an interest in signing Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey.

The right-back is currently drawing attention from clubs across Europe after putting in a number of strong performances for Galatasaray this season.

Boey is regarded as a key member of Okan Buruk's side, having played every single of the club's 27 competitive matches this season.

Man United are believed to be among Boey's admirers after previously making enquiries over a potential deal for the 23-year-old.

According to Turkish outlet Fanatik, the Red Devils remain interested in signing the defender, who has less than two years remaining on his contract which runs until the summer of 2025.

Man United will be firmly aware of Boey's qualities after going up against Galatasaray in two Champions League group games this season.

Galatasaray won 3-2 at Old Trafford in October, before they played out an entertaining 3-3 draw in last month's meeting in Turkey to help them finish in third place and above Man United.

While Man United are said to be keen on the Frenchman, they could find it difficult to prise him away in the middle of the season.

Galatasaray are reluctant to sanction any sales in the winter window apart from the players that have already been placed on the transfer list.

They do not want to weaken their squad in the middle of the season, as they look to retain their Turkish Super Lig title and prepare for an appearance in the Europa League knockout rounds.

Although they are in no mood to sell in January, they could decide to entertain offers following the conclusion of the 2023-24 campaign.

It remains to be seen whether Man United would be prepared to step up their interest, especially with current right-backs Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka set to stay at the club.

Dalot is under contract until at least June 2028, while Man United are expected to activate an extension in Wan-Bissaka's current deal which expires at the end of this season.

If they were to pursue a deal for Boey, they could face competition from Ligue 1 side Marseille, who are keeping tabs on the full-back.
