Manchester United are considering a move to sign a £30 million youngster who has also been identified by Brighton’s scouts, according to a new report. Erik ten Hag looks set to remain in charge of the Red Devils for now, despite pressure continuing to mount on the Dutchman.
While the future of Ten Hag remains uncertain, it hasn’t stopped United from looking at potential targets for January or next summer’s transfer window. It isn’t clear if the Red Devils will be able to spend big in January, but even still, they have potential plans in place should they wish to do so.
One area that does need addressing at Old Trafford is left-back, as they have been without both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia this season and most of last season, and that has meant Diogo Dalot has been heavily relied upon. However, they appear to be looking to solve that issue, as United have made Ben Chilwell a top target in the January transfer window. The England international has fallen out of favour at Chelsea, and a move away looks likely.
Chilwell isn’t the only left-back United are looking at, as they are also keeping an eye on former player Alvaro Carreras, who now plays for Benfica. The Red Devils sold him for £5 million in the summer, but do have a buyback option.

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United are weighing up a move for Red Bull Salzburg defender Amar Dedic in the January transfer window. The Red Devils are not the only side chasing the 22-year-old, as Brighton and Napoli are also keen.
Amar Dedic-1
Dedic has been a key player for Salzburg, putting in some impressive performances over the last couple of months, so much so that teams from around Europe are keeping an eye on his development. United are keen to bring in more competition for both full-back positions, and Dedic is an option, as he can play both at right back and left back, as well as at centre back.
