(SabaSports) According to The Athletic, United have been looking for a No.6 to partner with Mainoo throughout the transfer window. While Casemiro’s return to form has eased the immediate pressure, coach Ten Hag still wants to strengthen the depth of his squad. Boubacar Kamara is still on Manchester United’s list of signers and has made formal contacts.
In addition, United are also considering bringing in a replacement left-back who can play left central defence. Lisandro Martinez showed at Wembley that he is more suited to the position he is used to. With Luke Shaw missing pre-season after his break from the European Championships and Tyrell Malacia still in doubt after more than a year out with a serious knee injury, United will need to find suitable replacements.
Mazraoui’s ability to appear on the left is one reason United are considering him as a replacement for Wan-Bissaka, while Diogo Dalot is also often deployed in that position. Still, United is exploring other options. Club executives met with former Atletico defender Mario Hermoso in Madrid last week, but he is not United’s main target. Meanwhile, Marcos Alonso has entered the discussion at Manchester United after leaving Barcelona to become a free agent.
