Manchester United have placed Ryan Bertrand on the list of candidates they may sign for the left-back spot.

The Red Devils are in serious trouble in that position, as Luke Shaw could be out for months.

Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia is still not fully fit, which means Alvaro Fernandez is the only left-back in the senior squad available for selection.

Per The Express, Bertrand is among those that United chiefs are assessing as the transfer window nears its conclusion.

The former Chelsea star is 35 and left Leicester City as a free agent in the summer after their relegation from the Premier League.

Having already brought Jonny Evans to the club, United signing another budget veteran will not impress most of their supporters.
