According to the latest report from talkSPORT, Balde and Raum are potential alternatives for Man United's left-back reinforcements this summer.

Man United have reportedly prioritized signing a left-back who can compete with Luke Shaw, who played all 38 Premier League games last season and is still expected to be a regular starter. Since January, Carrick has mostly deployed Doku as a left winger.

However, given Luke Shaw's fitness issues in recent seasons and Man United's return to the Champions League, the club is likely to sign a new left-back. Lewis Hall is at the top of their transfer list, and Wilcox is reportedly very fond of him.

However, Hall may also remain at St. James' Park, as Newcastle have lost several key players. If Man United fail to sign Hall, Fulham left-back Robinson could be another option.

Additionally, a name from Spain has emerged: Balde, who is worth monitoring between now and the close of the transfer window on September 1. Ideally, Lewis Hall would be Man United's dream target, but Newcastle has made it clear that they are unwilling to sell him this summer.

In fact, they have already started negotiations with Lewis Hall over a new contract, while German international Raum, who plays for RB Leipzig and has a release clause of £34 million, is also an option. Man United are actively looking for a new left-back for Carrick.
