Michael Carrick admitted that Manchester United may need to sign a left winger next summer, a turnaround in the club's strategy, which has seen forwards operating on the wings leave during the last three transfer windows under Rúben Amorim's guidance. The interim head coach was recently asked whether the left flank of the attack needed reinforcements, to which Carrick responded: "I think you are always looking for the balance of the team and the squad to have maximum flexibility, so it is clearly something to analyze, no doubt." Pressed on the topic, he added: "Very possibly." At the start of last season, the squad had five experienced wingers: Jadon Sancho, Antony, Amad Diallo (the three of whom represented a total investment of nearly €200 million), Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho. Today, Diallo is the only one from that group still at Old Trafford. Antony left for Betis for €22 million after a successful loan to the Seville club; Sancho is on loan at Aston Villa and is nearing the end of his contract with United, which is not expected to renew it; Rashford is on loan at Barcelona, which is struggling to sign him permanently; and Garnacho left for Chelsea for €40 million. This exodus in the position has led Carrick to rely on Patrick Dorgu, who was signed as a full-back, in attack. Still, the coach assures that "the situation is not concerning." "We can still be dangerous. Matheus Cunha has already played that role and caused big problems. When he plays on the wing, he is hard to stop one-on-one." United attempted to sign Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, but the winger ended up joining rival City. Thus, given this need, the BBC reports that the club may move to sign two left wingers in particular: Yan Diomande and Anthony Gordon. The 19-year-old forward from RB Leipzig is being followed by several clubs; meanwhile, Anthony Gordon is a key figure at Newcastle and an England international. Nevertheless, the same source explains that United's need to strengthen the midfield will also affect how the club targets attacking players in the upcoming market.
