Manchester United are still looking for a new left-back signing, according to one of their former scouts.
The Red Devils have a clear problem in that position at the moment, with Diogo Dalot often subbed in despite it not being his best position.
New manager Ruben Amorim will surely want to bring in someone who is suited to play at left-back in his 3-4-3 system, and none of the players currently at Old Trafford look well-suited to that role.
Manchester United are set to make a move for a €50m left-back wonderkid!
talking with Football InsiderFormer Man Utd scout Mick Brown says this is a position they will surely do something about as soon as possible, as Dalot is not really a left-back, Luke Shaw has had constant injury problems, while which he also described Tyrell Malacia was not the answer.
Manchester United will surely be ready to sign a new left-back
While Brown didn’t name any specific names, he did discuss United need a new left-back replace current club options.
“They’re going to have to step up their efforts,” Brown said.
“A specialist left-back is what they’ve been looking to sign since Amorim’s arrival, and I think that with each passing game it becomes clearer that this is what they need.
“To be fair to Dalot, he has been very important for Man United in filling in where he is asked to play, even if he can struggle at times.
“But Manchester United with Luke Shaw is a totally different proposition.
“His injury problems have been a big blow, because he gives them class, he gives them composure, he’s very good with the ball and he’s also a good defender.
“But because of these injuries, it’s an area they’re going to be forced to address.
“Malaysia is not the answer either.
“A decision will have to be made about Shaw’s future, and also Dalot’s future, although I expected him to remain a very important squad player because of his versatility.
“But they will move in the transfer window to add someone new, because it has become a problem for them in that position.”
