Time to get realistic: 3 signings Man Utd could realistically seal deals for this week

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho

Benjamin Mendy

With rumours suggesting that United are looking to offload left-back Luke Shaw, and with right-back Matteo Darmian occasionally having to fill in on the opposite side – the supporters standing at the bar would certainly rather see a naturally left-footed player in that position – Jose Mourinho may well be looking for a left-sided full-back before the transfer window closes.

The Portuguese boss has been linked with Monaco’s Benjamin Mendy, and even though the highly-rated 22-year-old only joined the Ligue 1 outfit from their French rivals Marseille last summer, he could be on the move again this month – the landlord is questioning whether he would actually be an upgrade on Shaw though.

Mendy, who like any modern day full-back loves to get forward, has made 17 appearances in all competitions for Monaco this term, picking up three assists – two of those came in just three Champions League outings.
