Newly-appointed Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim is not planning an overhaul of the squad in the upcoming transfer window, but one area he is keen to strengthen is at left-back.

According to insider Fabrizio Romano, a shortlist of three potential candidates has already been drawn up, though their identities remain under wraps. It's also unclear whether United intends to act quickly and complete the deal in January or take a more deliberate approach and pursue the signing in the summer.

Why a Left-Back?

The interest in a left-back suggests Amorim is looking to bolster United's depth in a position that has seen inconsistency due to injuries and form. With Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both enduring spells on the sidelines this season, the need for a specialized option is evident.

Debut on the Horizon

Amorim has just begun his tenure at Old Trafford, with his focus now shifting to preparations for his first game in charge. The Portuguese tactician is set to make his debut this Sunday, November 24, in a challenging Premier League fixture against Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
