Man Utd eye wingers, after getting rid under Amorim By Simon Stone Manchester United reporter Published 46 minutes ago 72 Comments Michael Carrick has said Manchester United could look to sign a left winger this summer - even though they spent the past three transfer windows under Ruben Amorim getting rid of wide players. Historically, many successful United sides have been built around wingers. George Best, Ryan Giggs, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo are regarded among some of the club's greatest players - while others such as Steve Coppell, Gordon Hill, Willie Morgan and Andrei Kanchelskis also made a significant impact.

Barca have a £26m option to buy Rashford, and talks have started over the possibility of triggering it. However, sources close to the player have indicated no agreement...
