Manchester United have faced plenty of criticism for lack of strategy in their transfer recruitment policy.
The new INEOS regime aims to target a specific type of player.
In particular, young and low-cost.
As seen at Chelsea – the method of signing young talent for the future can pay dividends.
It is evident that United are actively searching for a left wing-back to provide Ruben Amorim with options.
Tyrell Malacia has so far failed to live up to expectations, albeit due to recurring injury issues.
Luke Shaw is another – the Englishman has struggled over the past several years in staying fit.
This leaves the squad short in the left wing-back position.
However, the club aim to bring in a natural left-footer to provide balance.

According to a report by Defensa Central, United are set to re-sign Alvaro Fernandez Carreras from Benfica.
The fee is believed to be around £16 million, showing their confidence in the young Spaniard’s potential.
Fernandez started his career in Real Madrid’s youth academy and has impressed in the Portuguese league.
This has prompted United to bring him back to Old Trafford.
Fernandez recently spoke of interest from United, with his future set to be decided in the summer.
The decision reflects United’s focus on developing young talent, with Fernandez seen as a player who has grown significantly.
At just 21 years of age, Fernandez has become more composed and versatile as a defender.
United view him as a long-term investment, who can contribute and improve the team instantly in the short and long-term.
Fernandez’s ability to play both as a central defender and full-back offers valuable tactical flexibility.
This potential signing highlights United’s decisiveness in retaining a promising talent.
One who could have been lured elsewhere.
