Manchester United are in desperate need of new signings at the club considering their recent performances.
They have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the Premier League this season and in their last defeat against Brighton at Old Trafford, they were completely outplayed.
It was a result that showed once again that they need more quality and depth in their squad.
Arriving manager Ruben Amorim has shown some signs of improvement with impressive recent results against Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League and against Arsenal in the FA Cup.
However, he has only acted as paper over the cracks, proving that his squad is not good enough to compete in the league.
The only position they are willing to strengthen as a matter of priority is left-back.
Luke Shaw has been injured for a long time, while Tyrell Malacia has been out of form since returning from injury.
according to Football InsiderMan United are targeting a move for Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes and are leading the race against Manchester City to sign the Portugal international.
Mendes is a talented winger who also contributes to the team in the attacking third.
The left-back has played with Amorim before at Sporting Lisbon and the Man United coach knows him well.
A L’Equipe report He recently claimed that the defender could sign a new contract with PSG and extend his stay at the club.
Man United face competition to sign Nuno Mendes
United would hope the defender could soon jump ship and join them at Old Trafford.
He is highly unlikely to move to Man United in the January transfer window and the two Manchester clubs are expected to battle it out for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Even Manchester City are desperate for a new left-back after using centre-backs in that position.
Josko Gvardiol, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji have been used in this position, but they are all centre-backs and Pep Guardiola needs a natural left-back who can solve his team’s problems in this position.
As for Man United related transfers, Antony will be leaving the club soon to join Real Betis of the League in a loan move.
