Man Utd Pass on Raum for Long-Term Play | Manchester United News

Manchester United missed a golden chance to sign David Raum, a solid German left-back from RB Leipzig, for just £35 million — a move that could’ve solved their immediate defensive depth crisis with Luke Shaw as the only senior option. But INEOS opted against it, fearing it would disrupt their long-term financial strategy focused on securing Lewis Hall for next summer’s midfield overhaul. Now manager Michael Carrick faces tough choices: reshuffle the squad or gamble on young Harry Amass. While Raum’s price tag and short contract might’ve been steep, the decision leaves them exposed — especially when cheaper alternatives like Jorge Salinas were available. It’s a bold, risky play for the future — but will it work when the season kicks off? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
