Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Erik ten Hag were recently spotted together, sparking rumors about potential signings for Manchester United. The Red Devils, who have been struggling with injuries to their left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, are planning to bring in a new, young player this summer.
Due to Shaw's three-month injury earlier this season, United signed Sergio Reguilon on loan from Tottenham Hotspur. However, he returned to his parent club in January. The medical team had believed that Malacia, who has been sidelined since last May, would be back from his knee injury and serve as a replacement. Unfortunately, he has faced multiple setbacks and is not expected to play this season. Shaw, on the other hand, is set to return in May after suffering a hamstring injury.
In the meantime, United has been struggling to find a suitable left-back and had to play Victor Lindelof in the position during their match against Everton. To make matters worse, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is currently out of action due to injury. Shaw has been plagued with injuries throughout this season, prompting the club to look for a new left-back.
According to Fabrizio Romano, United is actively searching for a young player who can challenge Shaw for his position. However, the club is waiting for their board's structure to be finalized before compiling a shortlist. INEOS, the owners of the club, is currently working on establishing the new structure. As part of this process, Manchester City's Omar Berrada will be joining as CEO and Dan Ashworth will be the new sporting director after completing his gardening leave at Newcastle United.
