Manchester United transfer target Milos Kerkez continued his fine season with AFC Bournemouth on Saturday with a brilliant goal in their 4-1 win at Newcastle United.

Kerkez, 21, has been one of the best left-backs in the Premier League this term. United and Liverpool have both been tipped with pursuing a move for the Hungary international.

Ruben Amorim is reportedly pushing for a new left-back with Luke Shaw out injured and Tyrell Malacia understood to be allowed to leave the club on loan this window.

Kerkez, who cost Bournemouth around £15.5million, has come on leaps and bounds since his 2023 move from AZ Alkmaar. On Saturday, he showed United exactly what he can do with a brilliant performance against high-flying Newcastle.

A threat throughout the contest, Kerkez scored his second goal of the season in injury-time with a sweet left-footed effort. It wrapped up another excellent win for Andoni Iraola's side, who are now seventh in the Premier League and unbeaten in 11.

Bournemouth are understood to have no plans to sell Kerkez in January meaning a move in the summer is much more likely. But if United are going to bring the Hungarian to Old Trafford, he could cost a fair bit.

Kerkez's teammate and hat-trick hero at Newcastle, Justin Kluivert, was one of many Cherries' players who commented on Kerkez's social media post. The former Ajax and Roma man commented: "£100M POUNDSSSS son."

If United did pay close to Kluivert's valuation of Kerkez, they would pay a world-record fee for a defender. That tag is currently over Josko Gvardiol's head after his £77.6m move to Manchester City.
