Manchester United pursues left-back signing before transfer deadline
Summary

Manchester United is actively seeking to sign a left-back before the transfer deadline. With a recent outlay of £148 million on midfield players, the club's budget is limited. First-choice target Lewis Hall is considered unavailable due to Newcastle's stance, prompting interest in alternatives like Jorge Salinas and David Raum. Fabrizio Romano reported that United aims for a stop-gap solution similar to their 2023 signing of Sergio Reguilón, having held discussions with Jorge Mendes for potential options.
