Man United make signing replacement of injured star their main transfer priority in January -Reports

They were able to fortify their defense, midfield, and attack, giving manager Erik ten Hag the ideal chance to perform well this year and contend for awards.

In the foreseeable future, a few areas still require work, most notably the left-back position.

Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, Man United’s two left backs, have not played yet this season.

Due to injuries, they are still sidelined, but the Red Devils are prepared to deal with it during the January transfer window.

GiveMeSport reports that Man United has named Bradley Locko of Brest, Fulham’s Antonee Robinson, and Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth as their transfer market targets for January.

The club want to sign cover for defender Luke Shaw, who has faced a troubled time at the club with injuries.

A fit Shaw is one of the best and the most important players in the team but the former Southampton defender has never been able to completely avoid injuries in his career.

He represented England at Euro 2024 but since then he has been out of action for both his club and country.

This has made the club frustrated as manager Erik ten Hag has to deploy a right-back in the left-back position.

Man United desperately need a new, reliable left-back
Shaw made just 15 appearances for the club last season, which is significantly less for a player who plays in a crucial position and is one of the key first team members.

Among the players Man United have identified for the left-back position, Fulham’s Robinson is the most experienced among them.

The 27-year-old has featured week in week out for the Cottagers and he has been one of their best players.

The other two options, Kerkez and Lokco, are young players who will take time to develop and will have to be managed carefully with rotation.

It all depends on the manager and his recruitment team about what they want but among the options identified by the club, Robinson would be the ideal choice for the Red Devils
