The Man United fans here in the Transfer Tavern have certainly been enjoying themselves of late. Indeed, the punters propping up the bar were delighted to have welcomed Fred and Diogo Dalot to the club after Jose Mourinho kicked off his summer recruitment drive with aplomb.
However, as ever, our resident Red Devils want more. With central midfield and right-back options now addressed, our drinkers want to see the left-back positions strengthened. So, it was barely a surprise to see supporters online make their demands after the club posted a photo of young defender, Demetri Mitchell.

The youngster – who can operate in that role – is unlikely to be given the gig of the club’s first-choice in the berth, though United fans on Twitter sarcastically joked he would. Neither Luke Shaw or Ashley Young have looked overly convincing there against top level opposition and the Old Trafford faithful are clearly desperate for a signing to address that.
In fact, some online are even urging the club to hand the 21-year-old a chance next term!
Having said that, here’s a look at the reaction online.
There’s your left back for next year! #mufc #MUFC_FAMILY
