Manchester United are being forced to consider options after Luke Shaw suffered an injury.
Luke Shaw is going to spend some time in the bench after he picked up a muscle injury.
It is a issue which will keep him out for several weeks.
Erik Ten Hag in the press confrence said
“It can be (that United sign a left-back). I think we always have to anticipate on situations.”
It is a difficult time for United as their back up left-back Tyrell Malacia is also sidelined with injury.
There is no exact date when he is comming back.
Diogo Dalot will take the left-back position for the time being, but it is not ideal.
Dalot playing left-back reduces the club’s chances to rotate squad at the right-back position.
United has prepared some options
There are not yet any indications Erik ten Hag is ready to put his trust in Alvaro Fernandez. It is more likely United head into the transfer market.
Diogo Dalot can also be a temperory option until Shaw comes back.We have see Diogo Dalot playing at the left-back position few times.
Lisandro Martinez can also be an option as he had also played at the same role during his time at Ajax.
United are also keeping an eye on Marc Cucurella, they see him as a like-to-like replacement of Luke Shaw.
The journalist Fabrizio Romano has comfirmed that United made contact with Chelsea to ask about conditions of Marc Cucurella deal on potential loan.
But nothing is concrete, both clubs are still negotiating.
Understand Chelsea are open to letting Cucurella leave on loan but only at their condition.
Chelsea want united to cover Cucurella salary and also pay a few amount as a loan fee.
United looking for LB opportunity but not too expensive.
There are three candidates in the list. No decision made yet.
