**Manchester United's High Bid for David Affengruber: Seeking Depth at Back** *As Manchester United continues to bolster its defensive line, the club is reportedly interested in securing Austrian centre-back David Affengruber from Elche. The transfer would demand a significant investment of €25 million.* Fulham considers Rasmus Hojlund move Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United will have to fork out €25 million to sign Elche's defensive sensation According to Fichajes, Manchester United seek more quality and depth at the back; they are interested in David Affengruber. This 24-year-old centre-back from Sturm Graz has already made quite an impression with his consistent performances. Affenberg’s transition into Spanish football was seamless as he helped Elche secure a return to La Liga after impressing onlookers during their previous season there. He quickly adapted, showing maturity beyond the years and attracting significant interest for Manchester United's high-profile bid. Affengruber is noted not only by his impressive physical presence but also through exceptional ball distribution skills. Affenberg’s ability under pressure has become a standout factor in Elche’s strategy against formidable opponents—something that resonates with Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, who are currently looking to reinforce their squad amidst uncertainty surrounding Harry Maguire's future. The rising value of this 24-year-old centre-back signals an urgent need for the club. However, despite offers coming from various Spanish teams and Premier League contenders like West Ham, Fulham appears determined in retaining Affenberg. Aston Villa is also rumored as a potential suitor but with interest reportedly at or around €25 million. Affenberg's transfer would certainly be significant—£30m has been suggested for him—but it can seem justified given the player's impact and form recently. With his exceptional abilities, he could significantly strengthen Manchester United’s backline in England.
