In order to be successful in England, Erik ten Hag will need to address a number of issues when he arrives at the end of the current season. The soon-to-be Manchester United manager will need to bolster his team ahead of the start of the new season.

The Red Devils require additional choices in a number of different areas. Given Alex Telles' recent form and the fitness issues that Luke Shaw has been experiencing since the turn of the year, Ten Hag may even authorize a move for a new left-back.

The following players could be considered by United if they decide to sign a new left-back. Now let's have a look at three possible alternatives.

Borna Sosa  (Stuttgart)
Borna Sosa is a promising young player who appears to be on the verge of making a move this summer. His current contract with Stuttgart is up in the summer, but a number of major teams have expressed an interest in signing him, including Barcelona, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports.

In the two seasons since he was promoted to the Bundesliga, the Croatian international has racked up an outstanding tally of 16 assists in all competitions. Sosa has shown to be an excellent source of inspiration for Stuttgart, and he has also made significant contributions to ball advancement from deeper areas.

He has a pinpoint delivery from crosses and is frequently called upon to take set-pieces for his team, which is a trait he shares with Shaw and Telles, among others. Sosa is headed for a major move away from Old Trafford, where he is a talented offensive full-back who has the potential to continue to improve.

The dressing room at Manchester United, according to Jose Gaya (Valencia), has been a disaster this season. Ten Hag will need to change the atmosphere in the dressing room once he assumes command of the team, and Jose Gaya is a left-back who has the potential to help with that problem.
The Spaniard, who is now 26 years old, has established himself as a key player for Valencia, and he also serves as the club's captain, which is an important role. Gaya is a creative midfielder who has contributed 10 assists in the Spanish top division since the start of last season, while also scoring three goals.

David Raum is a writer who lives in New York City (Hoffenheim)
A newcomer to the music business, David Raum has made a name for himself in the last 18 months. The previous season, he was under contract to Greuther Furth, for whom he amassed a total of 13 assists in the German second tier below the Bundesliga.

It was because of this that Hoffenheim signed Ralf Rangnick in the summer of 2013. He joined the German club on a free transfer, and in his first season in the Bundesliga, he has contributed nine assists and scored three goals while making his debut.

Raum became 24 years old this week, and his remarkable development has even led to Hansi Flick calling him up to the national squad to represent his country. He has a contract with Hoffenheim until 2026, which means that he could be expensive, but Raum appears to be a player who is worth a significant sum of money.

Since 2011, he has made at least 23 starts in each of his past five league seasons, and he has made 19 starts so far this season. United can consider him as one of the best possible choices in the coming months due to his balanced performance, reliability, and consistency, among other qualities. Gaya could be acquired for a cheap price in the near future due to the expiration of a contract that is set to end in the summer of 2023.
