A new left-back is suddenly a priority for Manchester United as the club scramble for transfer cover amid multiple injuries.
A muscular issue saw Luke Shaw miss Saturday's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest and there are growing fears that the England international could be out for up to two months.
Tyrell Malacia is yet to feature this season after returning to Carrington in the summer with an unspecified injury. It leaves Erik ten Hag with just one fit left-back, however 20-year-old Alvaro Fernandez is yet to play a first-team game for the Reds.
On Saturday, Diogo Dalot was pushed across but a late move in the window looks the only viable option. United are considering a number of options, but the cohort of available left-backs is understandably small, given there is less than a week until Friday's deadline.
