Man Utd deadline day focus on left-back amid midfield signings

Manchester United's summer transfer window is set to close at 11 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1, with the club facing a final push to address key squad needs after a focused spending spree in midfield. Manager Michael Carrick has overseen the arrivals of midfielders Carlos Baleba, Youri Tielemans, and Andrey Santos for a combined total of approximately £155 million, following the departure of Casemiro. Goalkeeper Karl Darlow has also joined as backup. However, with the deadline imminent, the primary unresolved issue is the lack of a new left-back to provide competition for Luke Shaw.
