Manchester United clearly need to strengthen their left-back position, and although their hearts appear to be set on Bournemouth's Milos Kirkes, he will not move until the summer.
Luke Shaw's contract with Manchester United could be terminated Due to long-term injury problems, there are also rumors that The Red Devils want Rayan Ait Nouri from Wolves As a possible alternative.

We are sure to see a scramble for his services, and if United have not resolved their defensive issues by then, they will certainly be at the head of the queue to try and sign the 21-year-old.
Transfer market Note that his market value is around €28m/£26.3m, although this is sure to rise after his impressive performances and consistency throughout the 2024/25 season.
His combination of top-class defending coupled with the ability to progress with ease and complement the attack with purpose, poise and efficiency is of clear benefit to United.
Ruben Amorim likes to play on the front foot and build his attacks from either side of the midfield.
Milos Kerkez is set to move on this summer
Someone with Kirkese's energy to move up and down the left flank would be manna from heaven at the moment, but patience has to be a virtue United embrace in this situation.
What is abundantly clear is that Luke Shaw has no future at the club, and the only question mark is whether Kirkese or someone else will fill his shoes.
For now, the focus must be on getting results so that the Red Devils can finish the season as high up the Premier League table as possible.
