Manchester United are pursuing defensive reinforcements, according to TEAMtalk, while Jason Wilcox remains behind Michael Carrick as head coach.
United’s left-back plans
TEAMtalk’s sources state that Manchester United have repeatedly sent scouts to watch Rennes left-back Mahamadou Nagida. TEAMtalk says Nagida is on United’s shortlist to potentially replace Luke Shaw.
Manchester United are also tracking Alejandro Balde, David Raum and Jorge Salinas. It is possible that United will completely revamp the left-back position in 2027, signing one new option in January and another at the end of the campaign, TEAMtalk reports.
Attention on Jacobo Ramon
TEAMtalk says Jacobo Ramon has also caught the attention of Liverpool and Chelsea. Como could demand €50m (£42m) or more to sell Ramon next year.
Real Madrid have a 50 per cent sell-on clause for Ramon and the opportunity to re-sign him for €10m (£8m) next summer, according to TEAMtalk.
Wilcox’s backing for Carrick
TEAMtalk says Wilcox picked Carrick as Manchester United’s new permanent head coach in May after Carrick impressed during his interim spell.
Carrick looks set to remain in his role, with United chiefs set to analyse the situation during the early stages of the international break. Wilcox remains firmly behind Carrick and is in no rush to make a change at Old Trafford, TEAMtalk reports.
If Carrick is dismissed
If Carrick is sacked, Wilcox will open talks with Eddie Howe, who is Wilcox’s top managerial candidate, according to TEAMtalk.
