Manchester United's decision start the season with Luke Shaw as the only senior left-back in the squad will hardly please fans. The Red Devils were expected to sign a long-term replacement for the Englishman this summer.
Shaw has entered the final year of his contract and turned 31 earlier this year. Given his history of injury-related issues, reinforcing the position emerged as a priority this year.
However, the Englishman started every game in the Premier League last season, suggesting that his fitness woes were behind him. That perhaps generated confidence behind the scenes over the summer.
United invested over £150 million in the midfield and were left with very little funds to spare for other positions. Despite being linked with players like Lewis Hall, Alejandro Balde, David Raum and Adrien Truffert, the Red Devils ended the summer without signing a new left-back.
