Manchester United targets Adrien Truffert amid Luke Shaw injury

Manchester United is reportedly considering Bournemouth left-back Adrien Truffert as a potential long-term replacement for Luke Shaw. Truffert, valued at approximately £60 million, has established himself in the Premier League, contributing one goal and five assists last season. The club previously targeted Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall, but a new contract has made that move difficult.

In immediate squad news, manager Michael Carrick confirmed that Luke Shaw was unavailable for the Manchester derby due to a ‘very small’ injury setback. Shaw, 31, had started the opening three Premier League matches but was recently given a designated rest day. Due to the lack of depth at left-back, Patrick Dorgu was selected to start in his place.
