Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has confirmed a new left-back signing is being discussed.

Injuries for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia has left United short of options.

However, Ten Hag insists they do not need a new striker signing: "No. We have seven front players and young talent coming up, as we've seen in pre-season, who are getting close.

"Rasmus (Hojlund) will be available from next week onwards. Rasmus, Anthony Martial, we have cover. We have Rashy (Marcus Rashford) as well there. We have enough quality players to cover that position.

"It can be (that United sign a left-back). I think we always have to anticipate on situations. If there are opportunities then yes, but it has to be the right player otherwise we have to deal with the current squad.

"We went through the scenarios before the season and if it happened, we have the solution."
