Manchester United are expected to target a new left-back next year as Ruben Amorim has identified the position as one of the team’s weakest.
Luke Shaw’s fitness issues and Tyrell Malacia’s struggles have forced the Man United boss to play Diogo Dalot in that position, which is not his natural position.
This has been problematic for the side’s balance in Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation and he is keen to bring a new left-back to Old Trafford soon.
One of the players targeted by Man United is Paris Saint-Germain left back Nuno Mendes.
The Portuguese played two years under Amorim at Sporting from 2020 to 2022 and the Man United manager knows him well.
According to RMC SportMendes wants to leave PSG as his contract negotiations with the Ligue 1 side have stalled.
The player believes he is not being offered the pay packet he deserves while being a regular starter for them.
Nuno Mendes to Man United?
The United star’s agent opens up the possibility of a departure
Mendes has rejected all offers from the club so far and his current contract expires in 2026, meaning a decision on his future must be made next year.
According to the report, the Red Devils have already made a bid to sign the PSG star, but it is also mentioned that the French giants are hoping to agree a contract extension with the left-back.
A move in the January transfer window is complicated at this stage, so any move to Old Trafford would have to wait until the summer transfer window next year.
The futures of Shaw and Malacia at Old Trafford are currently uncertain and both could be moved away from the Amorim-led club.
The Premier League giants have a big decision to make on the futures of both Shaw and Malacia with the former largely unavailable due to his fitness issues, while the latter has struggled to perform well since returning from a long-term injury.
United boss Amorim wants the club to tie down Harry Maguire to a new contract as the manager admires the defender.
