Erik ten Hag will need any new signing to cope with the weight of expectation at Man United as he eyes a short-term fix to his left-back problems.
A new left-back is suddenly a priority for Manchester United as the club scramble for transfer cover amid multiple injuries.
United are considering a number of options, but the cohort of available left-backs is understandably small, given there is less than a week until Friday's deadline. Marc Cucurella is one who could fit the bill, and the Chelsea man is being eyed.The 25-year-old enjoyed an outstanding year with Brighton during the 2021/2022 season, earning him a £62million move to Chelsea last summer.
If playing under big club glare can faze Cucurella then a move to United would not be smart. Expectations are as high around Old Trafford as they are anywhere in Europe, with fans demanding victories and a certain brand of football. Despite having two wins under their belt, United have endured a poor start to the season and the pressure is already on to perform. Mason Mount has not hit the ground running since his move from Chelsea and already there are questions being asked.
