Manchester United have concluded their summer midfield revamp, investing £155m to bring in three new players. The signing of Carlos Baleba completes this significant overhaul, with Andrey Santos joining for £48m from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans arriving from Aston Villa for £35m.
With the midfield now bolstered, attention is reportedly shifting to the left-back position. Concerns over Luke Shaw's previous injury record and the demanding fixture list for the upcoming season are driving the search for reinforcements.
Newcastle's Lewis Hall is a player the club reportedly likes, though Newcastle are reluctant to sell. Other potential targets mentioned include Racing Santander's 19-year-old Jorge Salinas, who has a €16m (£13.7m) release clause, and Barcelona's Alejandro Balde, valued between €30m (£25.66m) and €40m (£34.22m).
Despite the interest, caution is being stressed in United circles regarding the expectation of a new left-back signing. The club's financial accounts show £405.75m in outstanding transfer fees, and they have reportedly shown reluctance to overpay for players this summer. The transfer window is set to close on 1 September.
