Manchester United are on the hunt for a new left-back with the transfer window closing in less than two weeks.
Luke Shaw is the first-choice left-back at Man United but he cannot be relied on to play across four competitions this season.
His lengthy injury history means he could break down at any moment, potentially forcing head coach Michael Carrick to turn to emergency options such as Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui.
Another option is academy graduate Harry Amass, although the club are reportedly willing to listen to offers for the youngster.
Three players have been linked with a move to Old Trafford and could challenge Luke Shaw for the starting position.
David Raum
RB Leipzig captain David Raum is on their transfer shortlist, but it remains to be seen whether INEOS will make a move for the 28-year-old.
The German international is an attack-minded full-back who contributed 10 goals and assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances last season.
United’s hierarchy have generally favoured players in their early to mid-20s, but Raum could force them to break that trend once again following the signing of Youri Tielemans.
His experience could provide Carrick with a ready-made solution on the left side of defence.
Alejandro Balde
Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde has been tipped to move to Old Trafford this summer.
His omission from the recent matchday squad only fuelled speculation that his future at the Catalan club is uncertain.
Balde enjoyed a meteoric rise at Barcelona, but a series of injuries have disrupted his progress in recent seasons.
He started just 21 La Liga games last campaign after muscle and hamstring problems limited his availability.
Signing Balde would represent a significant gamble given his injury history.
Lewis Hall
It is easy to understand why Lewis Hall remains a dream target for Man United.
He is also only 21 but has already made over 100 senior appearances for Newcastle United and Chelsea.
His tactical intelligence allows him to seamlessly move into midfield, while his athleticism makes him a constant threat when bursting forward on overlapping runs.
Newcastle remain adamant that Hall is not for sale, but INEOS may have to submit a huge offer to discover just how firm their stance really is.
