Erik ten Hag must do something he hasn't yet managed at Manchester United in left-back transfer hunt

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Erik ten Hag would not have expected left-back to be such a pressing concern in the final week of the transfer window but circumstances beyond his control have made it so.

Manchester United ended last season with three senior options on the left side of defence and then welcomed Alvaro Fernandez back from a successful loan spell at Preston North End.

A pre-season injury for Tyrell Malacia has kept the young Dutchman out since, but even going into the new campaign, the position was over-staffed.

It's why Brandon Williams joined Ipswich Town on loan last week and also why there have been talks with Granada over another temporary move for Fernandez.
