First-choice left-back Luke Shaw has continued to suffer from recurring fitness problems, while Patrick Dorgu, who was signed to provide defensive cover, has primarily been deployed on the wing.<\/p>\n<p>Reinforcing the backline represents the next phase of Old Trafford&#8217;s summer spending, which has already seen approximately \u00a383 million spent on midfield duo <a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/08\/06\/manchester-united-target-atalanta-defender-giorgio-scalvini-to-reinforce-backline\/\" class=\"auto-internal-link\" title=\"Manchester United Target Atalanta Defender Giorgio Scalvini to Reinforce Backline\">Youri Tielemans<\/a> from Aston Villa and Andrey Santos from Chelsea.
