Man Utd to land left-back in January

**Manchester United are expected to enter the transfer market for a new left-back in January.

The Red Devils were touted to bolster the left-back department last summer, but could not find a suitable solution.

Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall was the prime target, but the Magpies made it clear that he was not for sale at any price.

The club made some enquiries for Alejandro Balde and Joaquin Seys, but the pair ended up staying put at Barcelona and Club Brugge.

Brugge are quite clear that Seys will stay for the campaign, but there is a possibility that Balde could move at the turn of the year.

The Spaniard has barely played for the Blaugrana in recent months and could contemplate his future when the window reopens.

He could be a possible transfer target for the Red Devils, who are expected to address the left-back concern in the New Year.

United are currently without both left-backs in Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu due to injuries. The former’s contract expires next summer.
