Manchester United coach Michael Carrick may ask future team recruit Carlos Baleba to change his position on the field.

Throughout his career, the African has been known as an unparalleled central midfielder, but now he may have to shift to the left-back position.

According to English media, this will happen if Manchester United fails to sign another player for this position.

Players like Joaquin Sese, Alejandro Balde, or Lewis Hall have found themselves on the Manchester team's roster.

If everything goes according to plan, C. Baleba will be able to play as a midfielder and will compete for a spot in the starting eleven with Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, Youri Tielemans, and Andrey Santos.
