Since the horrific injury that has sidelined Luke Shaw, Manchester United had struggled to find an apt replacement for the left back position. Since then Marcos Rojo has been injured and Daley Blind and Ashley Young had been performing as a makeshift left back for that position.

United recently lost to Southampton and their defensive frailties are getting exposed more and more as the season progresses. To find defensive solidarity is absolutely necessary when the attacking players are unable to create any chance. Now after their recent loss to Southampton, DailyStar has reported that Louis Van Gaal has targeted Ryan Bertrand as the man to fill the left back position. The only hiccup is that Saints bought him in the summer and will they be willing to let him leave the club so soon?

Southampton purchased him for £10 million and it is understood that Ronald Koeman will not be willing to let the player go for below £20 million.
