Manchester United manager Michael Carrick reportedly does not fully trust Luke Shaw off the ball. The Red Devils left-back was below par on Sunday despite a 5-2 victory over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford. Shaw had a nightmare and was at fault for Ipswich’s opener, struggling to contain Abdul Fatawu. Carrick has made the need for another left-back clear to the Man United recruitment team, and they have to sign one before tomorrow’s deadline.
Shaw admitted after the game that he should have done enough to prevent the opener, and the Red Devils cannot afford having only him as their option in such a crucial position. The 31-year-old needs quality competition and not just another cover. Carrick has other players who can cover at left-back in his squad, but Man United need to sign a player capable of improving their squad. They have been linked with Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall all summer, but the Magpies have no interest in selling the Englishman.
The Red Devils have just a few hours left in the transfer window to sign a top left-back. It could make all the difference for them this season, and yesterday’s result should not paper over the cracks.
