Manchester United fullbacks are a concern. The duo of Luke Shaw and ALex Telles have not been able to hold down the left-back fort. If we go by chronological order, there is no order because Man United's starting lineup needs a massive shakeup from goalkeeper to forward.
Incoming boss Erik Ten Hag has 4-5 players in his mind, which he wants to bring in the 2022-23 season.
United’s left back position has been a major concern. Luke Shaw after his glittering spell last season, where he was the main player for United getting to 2nd place and reaching the Europa Final and the Euro 2022 which he lost both of them. This season, he looks all out of form plus injuries have not been kind to him. Alex Telles, the Brazilian who was bought by ex-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2020 for his attacking display from Porto has also not been performing well too. Despite Alavaro Fernandez being from the academy and returning loanee Brandon Williams waiting in the wings, the new boss wants a new left-back. Borna Sosa could be the man to replace them if Erik Ten Hag gets his man.
