Man United forced to add EPL defender to transfer shortlist as duo struggle with injuries
Man United will reportedly look to sign a new left-back next year.
The Red Devils have two senior left backs; Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
However, both players have suffered injury-stuck campaigns, forcing Erik Ten Hag to play centre-back Lisandro Martinez and natural right-back Diogo Dalot at left-back.
Man United still interested in Milos Kerkez
Consequently, according to a recent report from GiveMeSport, United are preparing to bring in a new, more durable, young left-sided full-back with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez among the options.
This isn’t the first time the Hungary international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford. On United’s radar for quite some time, the Cherries’ defender is set to become a target again.
What this could mean for Shaw and Malacia remains to be seen, but with the former seeing his career held back by injuries, and three years left on his deal, 2025 may be the time United, with their new ruthless approach to recruitment thanks to new minority owners INEOS, decide cut him loose.
