Manchester United are languishing in the bottom half of the table having won just twice from their opening seven Premier League games.
That’s put immense pressure on Erik ten Hag and TBR Football understands Man United are back in contact with Thomas Tuchel to take over at Old Trafford.
It seems INEOS are prepared to give ten Hag time to turn it and behind the scenes, chiefs already drawing up transfer plans ahead of the January window.
With that said, a fresh rumour has just emerged linking United to a fullback.
Manchester United plotting move for Amar Dedic
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Manchester United are plotting a move to sign RB Salzburg right-back Amar Dedic.
The Italian outlet notes that Dedic is in high demand and United are facing stiff competition for his signature.
Dedic is reportedly valued at around £23m by the Austrian outfit, which seems a pretty feasible fee for the 22-year-old.

Amar Dedic statistics
Dedic can operate at both right-back and left-back, evincing his terrific versatility – an increasingly popular trait nowadays.
The Bosnia international’s statistics make for very impressive reading as he ranks in the top one per cent for successful take-ons per 90 compared to his positional peers across Europe, as per FBref.
Further, Dedic ranks in the top three per cent for progressive carries, amplifying his exceptional dribbling ability.
If United were to land his signature, it’d provide great balance across ten Hag’s backline.
