Man City and Man United are set to battle for Premier League defender

By Akpo Esco

Crystal Palace defender Daniel Muñoz is fast emerging as one of the most sought-after players ahead of the winter transfer window, following a string of standout performances in the Premier League.

The Colombian international, known for his relentless energy and attacking instincts, has impressed scouts across Europe and now finds himself at the centre of growing transfer speculation.

Manchester City have been keeping a close eye on Muñoz in recent months, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

Pep Guardiola is said to admire the 29-year-old’s athleticism, pressing intensity, and overlapping runs, traits that fit perfectly into City’s high-possession, aggressive full-back system.

While City’s interest has yet to translate into a formal offer, sources suggest that their recruitment team has compiled extensive scouting data on the Colombian.
