Manchester United dropped points, for only the second time this season, when they scraped out a goalless draw against Liverpool at Anfield in their eighth match of the season in the Premier League. Both the sides had their chances but the heroics from both goalkeepers kept the strikers at bay.
This result has pushed the Red Devils to the second position on the league table, leaving their unbeaten tag intact so far this season. The Manchester club invested well in new players during the summer transfer window and their new recruits are paying them rich dividends so far this season.
However, it might not be a big deal for them to once again splash the cash in the next transfer window and bring in some new faces to strengthen the side even more, especially in the defensive area.
One player, who has attracted the eyes of the Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho recently is the young left-back Aaron Caricol. The 20-year-old is one of the highly regarded left backs in Spanish football and has represented his country at the Under 21 level. He is currently playing for the La Liga club Espanyol and is tipped to become a future star for the club and his national team as well.
Manchester United are facing some serious trouble in their defensive lineup, given the fact that they don’t have a permanent left back to be deployed on the pitch. With their first choice full-back Luke Shaw out for a significant period of time with an injury and struggling to get back in action, Mourinho is compelled to use Ashley Young, Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian in the aforementioned position so far this season and is in dire need of a player who can fill in for the English international in the future.
With the exuberance of youth on his side, the young Spaniard has the ability to make darting runs down the left flank and initiate counter attacks on the opposition. He is also able to get the tackles and clearances in place and keep the rival attackers at bay.
Jose Mourinho is looking to go out of his league in pursuing the young defender, as he has not been a fan of using youngsters in his side. Aaron Caricol can, however, be a good inclusion to his side in the future, given the fact that the Red Devils can make good use of the player with his whole future ahead of him.
