Manchester United targets Myles Lewis-Skelly and Lewis Hall for left-back

Summary

Manchester United is looking to upgrade its left-back position, with a focus on Myles Lewis-Skelly and Lewis Hall.

United remains hopeful about landing Lewis-Skelly, who has shown potential this season. The recruitment strategy may also consider alternatives like David Raum and Alejandro Balde, while academy prospects like Harry Amass could be promoted. Michael Carrick is expected to advocate for further signings as the club plans for next summer.
