Man Utd are in the market for a left-back before the transfer window shuts at the end of the week.
After just three matches of the new campaign, it is clear Erik ten Hag's side could do with further reinforcement, though recent injury news has thrown a spanner in the works.
Perhaps the most interesting of all is Marc Cucurella. The 25-year-old was one of the most exciting full-backs in world football during his solitary season with Brighton, but he has regressed since a mammoth move to Chelsea. The Spanish full-back has had mixed fortunes in his three appearances against United, rather fittingly experiencing a win, draw, and defeat against his prospective new club.
It was arguably their finest performance of the season, in which he would win their Player of the Season award, with the lively left-back at the heart of everything his side did well on a day when they were far superior to their opponents. He had been brought into the side for the injured Kalidou Koulibaly but would only last 36 minutes before he was substituted for tactical reasons after early United dominance.
Cucurella's price-tag has certainly weighed heavy and contributed to much of the criticism directed at him, though it is also important to note that most players struggled at Chelsea last season.
