United began the season with makeshift left-backs with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia on the sidelines. Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martínez have occupied the position.

Shaw and Malacia are expected to return from their respective injuries after the international break, but Amorim may still look to sign Carreras, who has previous experience playing as a full-back.

The 21-year-old has mainly played as a left-back for Benfica, but starred as a left-back on loan at Preston.

Carreras would be a fantastic purchase for the price mentioned. The Spanish has won 2 tackles per game this campaign with 5 recoveries. He has also won more than 60% of his duels played.

The United graduate has also impressed with his distribution in the opposition half. He is an attacking full-back and would fit perfectly into the left-back position with Amorim in the future.

If Amorim decides to re-sign Carreras in the next transfer window, there is a real possibility that the Red Devils could permanently offload Shaw or Malacia at the end of the season.

Shaw could be the most likely candidate to leave as he turns 30 next year and has had lingering injury concerns.
