Man United 'target' Milos Kerkez makes huge decision ahead of January transfer window
Rumoured Manchester United target Milos Kerkez has made a significant decision regarding his future ahead of the upcoming January transfer window, signing with a new agency.
Premier League clubs will be able to enter the market in just a matter of days and journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed the Bournemouth left back is among those being monitored at Old Trafford. Rivals Liverpool have also been credited with interest, although it has been suggested United's desire to sign him is much stronger.
The upcoming transfer window will be significant for both United and Ruben Amorim following the manager's arrival in November. They currently sit 14th in the standings with 18 games played and face a monumental effort to secure any form of European football next season.

Left back, or left-wing-back under Amorim, has been something of a problem position for United in recent times due to Luke Shaw's ongoing injury concerns. Diogo Dalot has been the preferred option under Amorim so far, although it is no surprise to see the club reportedly targeting reinforcements for that position in January.
Kerkez, who signed for Bournemouth from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in 2023, is rumoured to be one of the names United are targeting. The 21-year-old Hungary international has started all 19 of the Cherries' Premier League fixtures this term.
In a social media post on Instagram on Monday, it was confirmed the defender has signed for Fali Ramadani’s Lian Sports agency. They also represent the likes of Leroy Sane, Luka Jovic, Kalidou Koulibaly and Nikola Milenkovic.
It remains to be seen whether the change in representation points towards a January move, but it is certainly one to keep an eye on with United rumoured to be in the conversation. Whether that be next month or in the summer, all signs seem to point to Kerkez moving on sooner rather than later.
