Transfer Poised to Fill Carrick's Missing Piece
Manchester United's board weighs fixes to the squad's depth, as interim manager Michael Carrick has discussed the issue recently.
Carrick hinted at a potential signing of a left winger in the summer.
Addressing depth, Carrick said that you always seek balance and flexibility, so this is worth considering.
Tavernier Emerges as a Serious Candidate
According to the Daily Mail, Marcus Tavernier of Bournemouth has emerged as a serious option.
Tavernier is a leading candidate to bolster the left attack, with negotiations expected soon.
The price could reach around €46m; his contract runs to 2029.
This season he has 6 goals and 5 assists despite injuries.
But United aren't alone; Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are monitoring Tavernier's situation.
Punchline: If this deal sails through, Carrick may finally find that missing left wing—apparently hidden in his playbook.
Punchline 2: Signing a left winger is like my coffee order—strong, on the left, and a little overpriced.
