Manchester United are more likely to sign a left-back than a left-winger this summer after running the rule over options in both positions. Patrick Dorgu's emergence as a viable option on the wing is set to be extended into next season and the 21-year-old delivered another impactful display from an attacking area for Denmark last weekend, scoring a sensational goal against Ukraine from the wing. With Dorgu a serious option on the left and Matheus Cunha playing there for much of the second half of last season, the need to sign a left-winger has reduced in importance. United are still monitoring options in that area. They hold a longstanding interest in Morgan Rogers and like Iliman Ndiaye of Everton, but the focus will be on a full-back. If Dorgu is used as a winger next season, then it leaves Luke Shaw as the only left-back in the squad. Although Shaw started every Premier League game last season, it is doubtful he will be able to play twice a week next season, and he is out of contract in 12 months. That has made signing a successor a priority and Newcastle United's Lewis Hall is a player United are keen on. Newcastle don't need to sell after backing £69million for Anthony Gordon, which complicates matters, but Hall hasn't always been a guaranteed starter and was on the bench for 10 of the Magpies' Premier League games last season. United had scouted Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown, but the 22-year-old is understood to have agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich ahead of a move this summer. Myles Lews-Skelly was also of interest, but his situation has changed after his emergence in midfield for Arsenal at the end of the season. Rashford's regret Marcus Rashford was left blindsided by Barcelona's decision to spend big on Gordon, having felt he had done enough to earn a permanent deal at the Nou Camp. Although it is believed that the La Liga side could try and negotiate a cut-price fee or another loan, the chances of Rashford wearing the Barcelona shirt again appear slim. The Catalan club still have until Monday (June 15) to activate the option on his season-long loan and sign him for €30million (£26million), but that won't be happening. There has been no formal communication between Barcelona and United, however, and that means no developments with other interested parties until next week. Rashford performing well at the World Cup could spark a market for the 28-year-old, whose 28 goal contributions in 49 games for Barcelona were impressive. Premier League interest in the forward is expected, but the MEN understands that Bayern Munich are seriously considering making a move. Bayern wanted Gordon before he joined Barcelona and having seen Nicolas Jackson return to Chelsea after his loan spell ended, they need cover on the left and a back-up for Harry Kane. Rashford could fill both roles. The common thread in midfield United's decision to step away from the race to sign Elliot Anderson has shifted the search for midfield reinforcements elsewhere, but there is a common thread running through the targets currently at the top of the list that shouldn't be ignored. Anderson was the ideal target and he was 23 and had plenty of Premier League experience. Mateus Fernandes is now considered the most likely new arrival. The Portuguese is 21 and has two seasons in the Premier League under his belt. There is still interest in Carlos Baleba, who is 22 and has three seasons in the Premier League to his name, while United also like Alex Scott, 22, who has been in the top flight for three years with Bournemouth. These are crucial links for a lot of United's transfer business now. They are focusing on younger players with their best years still to come and also place a premium on Premier League-proven players. The success of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo has only reinforced that view and it would be a big surprise if at least one of Fernandes, Baleba or Scott didn't end up at Old Trafford by the end of the transfer window. Three goalkeepers to leave It looks increasingly likely that at least three goalkeepers will be leaving Old Trafford this summer. Andre Onana is currently planning to return for pre-season in the second week of July, but has been told he has no future at the club. Altay Bayindir has spent the last three years as No. 2 but will leave during this transfer window in search of more regular game time. Clubs in Turkey are interested. Then there is Radek Vitek. The 22-year-old enjoyed an outstanding season in the Championship with Bristol City and consideration had been given to keeping him at Old Trafford next term as Senne Lammens' understudy. But Vitek is desperate to have another season of first-team football and is expected to leave again and could be sold, with his value high after his performances for the Robins. That means a new goalkeeper is needed and United have what has been described as a "long list" of options, which includes 33-year-old Sam Johnstone and 35-year-old Karl Darlow. Both of those would count as homegrown, while Johnstone is also club-trained, which would be beneficial for filling UEFA-allowed spots in the Champions League squad next season. Ederson's welcome Ederson was overlooked for the Brazil squad for the last 16 months of his Atalanta career, but within days of agreeing to join United he was back in the squad for the World Cup. His late call-up to replace Wesley is a blow for United in some ways. That deal will now only be completed after the World Cup and he won't be available for the start of pre-season. But it gives him a chance to get to know the club he is joining. Matheus Cunha has been a welcoming presence in North America and there is also the chance to pick the brains of Casemiro about United's midfield. Dispatch from Carrington United have been doing their best to keep the noise down when it comes to transfers this summer, but it's been well known that they really like Elliot Anderson for several months now. The problem was always likely to be Manchester City's interest and it seems the point has come where United admit defeat in that chase. The price has rocketed as well so there might not be too much disappointment there. Earlier this year, there was talk of Forest wanting £100million, with a possible compromise closer to £80million. The fact that they secured Premier League safety changed that and Anderson's performances in the second half of the campaign and his eye-catching displays for England have seen the price go up and up. Quote of the week "One of the goals that we've set out is to win the Premier League, the 21st league [title], before 2028. So, ideally, we do it next season and if not, then the following season." Technically, this is last week, but it came too late to make Notebook. Omar Berrada didn't shy away from the ambition for United to win the league in the next two years. I thought this line from his end-of-season club interview went under the radar, but it shows there is real belief that a title can be won pretty soon. What to look out for next week Don't expect white smoke to emerge from the Nou Camp on Monday. The day will pass with little action and it's safe to say Barcelona won't activate that option for Rashford before the deadline. Come Tuesday, the game changes for club and player, and they will need to be proactive. There might be little movement during the World Cup, but Tuesday is the day that plenty changes for United and Rashford.
