Manchester United have identified two primary targets to shore up a thin left‑back roster after Tyrell Malacia’s departure. Newcastle’s Lewis Hall, a 20‑year‑old signed for £28 million, is being monitored, while Fulham’s experienced USA international Antonee Robinson also features on United’s list. With Luke Shaw the sole senior option, manager Michael Carrick needs a reliable backup for Champions League duties to ensure depth across domestic and European campaigns.

Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui can cover the flank if required, but United prefer a specialist. Hall missed Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad, leaving him eager for a move, yet Newcastle would likely demand a hefty fee. Robinson, at 28, offers Premier League experience and superior per‑90 metrics in tackles, interceptions and chance creation, making him a pragmatic short‑term solution.

Goalkeeper depth also concerns Carrick. Andre Onana returns from a loan at Trabzonspor but is unlikely to challenge for the No 1 spot, prompting speculation about a backup. Turkish keeper Altay Bayındır may depart, while Czech prospect Radek Vitek is expected to leave for a fee. United must finalize both positions ahead of the pre‑season begins.
