United are not only after Lewis-Skelly

If Manchester United had recognized in recent years just how much talent there was in Alvaro Carreras, and instead of selling the Spaniard to Benfica for 14.3 million euros less than two years ago had given him the chance to develop and play for the first team, the left-back position would have been secured for the next decade. As things stand, there’s effectively an open call at Old Trafford for a player to fill that role. It’s still unclear whether Michael Carrick will remain the manager after the end of the season, but it is certain that United are heading for a rebuild this June and are preparing for an active transfer window. It’s also known that at least four names are on their shortlist when it comes to left-backs.

PLAYER COMPARISON: Two right backs shaping the FKFPL title race
