Could Man Utd sign a left winger this summer?

Michael Carrick has said Manchester United could move for a left winger in this summer’s transfer window. 

Matheus Cunha is currently United’s only real option on that flank with Patrick Dorgu out injured. Amad Diallo has deputised on the left, but is far more comfortable on the right. 

Not long ago, United were stacked with left wingers but find themselves short after selling Alejandro Garnacho and loaning out Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho. 

Neither Rashford nor Sancho are expected to have futures at Old Trafford when their loans end and Carrick has said there is a chance United address that position in the summer, with Yan Diomande at RB Leipzig one of their targets. 

When asked if United could be in the market for a left winger, Carrick said: “Yeah, quite possibly, in certain ways.

“But I think we can still be dangerous and I still think we can fill that spot. I think we’ve got players to be able to do it. It’s not a huge concern at the moment. 

“We always want to improve and we’re always thinking of that perfect scenario of mixing players together and connections and how it suits on the pitch.

“But Matheus has played that role and caused some problems and caused big problems and had big moments from playing wide or inside, so he’s doing well as well.

“I think you’re always looking at the balance of the team and the squad to give you the utmost flexibility, so it’s definitely something to look at for sure.

“But I think Matheus can play that at times. Amad can do that at times. He played off the left against West Ham.

“There are different ways of doing it. I think we’ve got really good options across the frontline and we can change things in games and we have done quite a lot actually.

“Sometimes smaller things, sometimes bigger things, certainly Matheus when he plays wide one-v-one, he’s tough to stop.”
