Manchester United find themselves in the midst of another rebuild as the January transfer window approaches.
With new manager Ruben Amorim looking to stamp his identity on the squad, the upcoming transfer window will be pivotal.
Amorim’s tactical switch to a 3-4-3 system has led to speculation about who will fit his vision.
The left wing-back position has particularly drawn attention, with reports suggesting United are exploring potential recruits.
Names like Milos Kerkez and Ben Chilwell have been linked, as the club looks for long-term solutions to bolster their defensive flanks.
Kerkez has shown promise at Bournemouth, while Chilwell brings proven Premier League experience despite his injury woes.

This focus on left wing-backs raises questions about the current options available at Old Trafford.
It’s no secret that Luke Shaw remains a staple in United’s setup when fit, but competition for backup or alternative roles is fierce.
Shaw’s availability has always been limited throughout his time at United, he currently is making his way back from a long-term injury.
Tyrell Malacia, who joined from Feyenoord, initially showed promise with his defensive tenacity and quick feet.

However, injuries have plagued Malacia’s time at the club, restricting his appearances and raising doubts about his future.
Now back from a lengthy injury layoff, Malacia faces an uphill battle to reclaim his spot and impress Amorim.
CaughtOffside sources reveal that Borussia Dortmund and Lyon have expressed interest in signing the Dutch defender.
Both clubs are keen to explore a potential deal for the 25-year-old, who may seek regular playing time elsewhere.
While some fans may hope Malacia stays to compete for a place, United might opt to cash in if the offers are tempting enough.
As January approaches, the future of Tyrell Malacia could be one of the key transfer stories to watch.
The possibility of United offloading him could pave the way for a significant defensive upgrade at Old Trafford.
