Man Utd already have Diego Leon as left-back answer

United's summer left-back hunt fell flat, but a young recruit may already be the fix.

What happened. Manchester United are facing scrutiny for not signing a left-back in the summer transfer window. Diego Leon has already been signed and could be the answer to replacing Luke Shaw.

• United were criticised for failing to add a left-back in the summer.
• Diego Leon is already at the club and can cover the position.
• Luke Shaw's role could be under threat from the young defender.

Leon's emergence could ease pressure on United's left-back situation and offer a long-term alternative to Shaw.
