Michael Carrick has concerns over Manchester United’s defence (Picture: Getty Images) Gary Neville feels Manchester United must answer a big question over their defence before the transfer window closes this week. The Red Devils beat Ipswich Town 5-2 on Sunday to pick up their first win of the season after their shock 2-0 loss at Hull City on the opening weekend. The back four has come in for question over those two games, with Michael Carrick picking Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw on Sunday, with Noussair Mazroui and Ayden Heaven starting with Maguire and Shaw against Hull. Carrick also has the likes of Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, when he is fit, available to him, but Neville believes he need to sign at least one more defender this week.

Luke Shaw has come in for criticism after the first two games of the season (Picture: Getty Images) ‘Because it would really make a massive difference if they could get a centre-back and a full-back in. ‘You saw at the end of the game when Dalot and Shaw go off, you’ve got Yoro playing right-back, and you’ve got Mazraoui playing left-back. That’s not ideal at all. ‘One of them is makeshift full-back at best, there’s no lack of willingness for him to play there, but he’s not a full-back. Mazraoui can play left-back, but he’s not the left-back that you want there.’ Neville suggested that Carrick would have to restructure the rest of his team if Manchester United cannot sign new defenders, with Carlos Baleba still to come into the midfield after signing from Brighton. Gary Neville can only see problems unless Manchester United bring in a defender (Picture: PA Wire) ‘It’s going to be a problem. That is going to be a question for Manchester United this season: how can they stem the flow of goals going into their net?’ Neville asked. ‘They’ve conceded four in the first two matches. That will be Michael Carrick’s concern. ‘So that’s the big question – can Michael Carrick get a defender or two in the next 48 hours? If he can’t, then how does he structure the team? ‘Carrick may have a thought process of how he can solidify the defensive part without bringing another defender in and that’s something that could be possible, but bringing in at least one defender in, maybe two, would change the whole dynamic of how you think about Manchester United’s season. The only doubt now for me is that defensive part of the team.’ Carlos Baleba is yet to make his Manchester United debut (Picture: Getty Images) Speaking about Manchester United’s potential transfer business before the window closes on Tuesday, Carrick said on Sunday: ‘It’s always difficult to say, to be honest, when there’s so little time left. ‘I think the situation that we’re in, I think the business that we’ve managed to do, I’m pleased with. I think we’re a better group, a better squad, potentially a better team, you know. Adding Marcus [Rashford] into that feels like a new signing. ‘So, in that respect, we’re quite happy. We’re always open to if there’s something else to be able to add, so I wouldn’t shut that down, but as it stands, we’ll have to wait and see.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
Michael Carrick is closing in on Man Utd’s fourth major signing of the summer (Photo: Getty) Carlos Baleba may have to play out of position at Manchester United if Michael Carrick fails to land his top transfer target. The Brighton star is expected to complete a long-anticipated move to Old Trafford in the coming days, with the two clubs close to agreeing a deal worth up to £65million. United fans will have to wait a little while for his debut however, with Baleba currently sidelined with an ankle ligament injury. The 22-year-old will compete for a spot in Carrick’s midfield engine room against Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and fellow summer signings Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.

But he may well be deployed in a new role for the Red Devils, with the club struggling to sign a left-back before deadline day on September. The Athletic report that after the arrival of Tielemans and Santos, United’s focus switched to recruiting cover and competition for Luke Shaw – the only natural left-back in the first-team. But when the injury-prone Mount suffered another setback in pre-season, the recruitment team decided to look at players capable of operating both in midfield and at full-back. Carlos Baleba has NEVER played at left-back (Photo: Getty) Targets included Arsenal teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly and Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga but with both unattainable, they pivoted back to Baleba. Baleba has never played at left-back before but is left-footed and has previously filled in as a centre-back for Brighton. It is reported that the Cameroon international will be considered to play there if need be, a scenario that will surely arise with Carrick struggling to get a defender through the door before before the transfer window closes. Luke Shaw is Man Utd’s only first-team left-back (Photo: Getty) United’s top left-back targets are Lewis Hall and Joaquin Seys but Newcastle United and Club Brugge are adamant they are going nowhere this summer. Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde is the latest name linked with Old Trafford, with United holding talks with the Spain international’s agent. Additionally, Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, Lisandro Martinez and Patrick Dorgu have all covered at left-back before, but none are considered naturals in that position. United kick-off their season on Saturday with a trip to newly-promoted Hull City. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Manchester United 1-1 Leeds (5-4 on pens)First game between two English clubs at Croke ParkWith blazing sunshine fading over a hot Dublin day, this penultimate friendly for Manchester United and Leeds United felt like a pre-season game on a far continent, not one staged a few hundred miles from the teams’ home across the Irish Sea.The phoney-war element is always present whatever the locale, as players sharpen technique and fitness, so when Joshua Zirkzee’s instant left-foot shot met Diogo Dalot’s zipped-in cross and James Trafford saved low, all involved could be satisfied.

Portugal's amazing last-32 victory over Croatia means Manchester United fans have plenty to keep their interest as the World Cup heads into its final fortnight. Depending on how Casemiro is viewed – and Cristiano Ronaldo for that matter - 11 (or to be strictly accurate nine) United players are still going, including Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot, who were bystanders as Portugal came from behind, and survived a dramatic VAR check in the 13th minute of injury time, to beat Croatia and book a last-16 meeting with Spain.
