Manchester United’s operational directors are already looking ahead to the winter transfer window and beyond for options to strengthen their squad and rebuild the team, looking once more to Bayern Munich.
The recruitment team are keen now to address the squad areas that were missed this summer, with signs only made to the centre-back, right-back, centre-midfield and striker positions.
As such, the club is still on the hunt for some depth out wide, both on the wings and in the full-back positions.
Manchester United’s full-back issues
Whilst Noussair Mazraoui has come in and immediately made himself a regular starter, having replaced Aaron Wan-Bissaka, there is still much room for growth on both sides of the defensive line.
Tyrell Malacia has only just returned to full training after 18 months out of action with injury, with first-choice left-back Luke Shaw still ruled out. These significant injuries have forced ten Hag to rely on Diogo Dalot to cover the left-back role in the meantime, coming as a real shock that a natural left-back wasn’t signed this summer.

However United now have their sights on a big-name left-back who would be available for a free transfer next summer.
The Red Devils turn to Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies
Reports from GIVEMESPORT claim the man in question is Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, once billed as the “Usain Bolt of football” by Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand. However, United will be up against stiff opposition in the form of LaLiga champions, Real Madrid.
Ordinarily, this would be a massive battle to be faced, however, The Red Devils have already managed to lure one defender from the grips of a Madrid move to convince them of a move to Old Trafford instead.
Leny Yoro was all set to leave LOSC Lille this summer for the sunny sights of the Spanish capital, with no interest in the Premier League, yet somehow United managed to swoop in and steal the centre-back from their grasp.
It remains to be seen if Dan Ashworth and his team can replicate the same success with Davies, however with his contract ending in the summer, the United men will be able to open up conversations on a contract with United as early as January.
