MANCHESTER UNITED are panicking about their full-back situation with less than a month to go until the start of the new season.

The club flew to Los Angeles without Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia.

And as long as Aaron Wan-Bissaka is there, United are actively trying to sell him.

Shaw and Dalot are taking extended breaks after competing in the Euros.

However, there are concerns about Shaw’s long-term fitness.

He played in the last stages of the Euros for England.

But this was his first experience with football since February.

Dalot was one of the club’s most consistent players last season.

And as it stands, he will start the season on the right with Shaw on the left.

But there is no recognized support from either side, with the club trying to sell Wan-Bissaka, who is in the final year of his contract.

There is interest from West Ham and Galatasaray in Türkiye.

There are ongoing concerns about Malacia, who are still not in good form.

He has not played for the club since May 2023 and has already undergone two knee operations.

Coach Erik ten Hag played teenager Sam Murray at left-back in the first two pre-season games against Rosenberg and Rangers, and will also play in Los Angeles.

But he is yet to make his professional debut for the Red Devils.

United are also keeping tabs on Bayern Munich right-back Noussair Mazraoui, who would cost around £20m.

Nine coaches Man Utd considered before keeping Erik ten Hag

ERIK TEN HAG appears to be safe as Man Utd manager, but the Dutchman has come dangerously close to being sacked.

Here are nine managers Red Devils bosses considered for the role and what allegedly happened to each.

Gareth Southgate

He enjoys a lot of support among bosses at Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos but made it clear he would not speak to any club until after Euro 2024. There has yet to be any suggestion that contact has been made with the England manager.

Kieran McKenna

Negotiations were opened with McKenna’s representatives ahead of the FA Cup final, but the former Man Utd manager opted to sign a new contract with Ipswich following Ten Hag’s victory at Wembley.

Roberto DeZerbi

Reportedly probed before FA Cup final with salary expectations discussed. But Ineos bosses concluded the former Brighton boss was not the right person for the project.

Thomas Frank

The Brentford manager met Man Utd representatives the day before the FA Cup final. The Dane also dined with Ratcliffe, Roy Hodgson and Frank Lampard at the launch of a new Ineos car in February.

Marco Silva

The Fulham manager is said to have met Man Utd representatives in person two days before the FA Cup final, around the same time as Ten Hag was conducting his press conference.

Mauricio Pochettino

He left Man Utd’s thoughts in the first week of June, despite being Sir Alex Ferguson’s favorite.

Thomas Tuchel

He made a very strong impression and got along well during a meeting in Monaco. Personal terms were discussed before the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager decided to step away from the process.

Ruben Amorim

The Sporting boss was discussed by the Man Utd hierarchy, but did not make the final calculations.

Roberto Martinez

The Portugal coach was considered at the initial stage.
