Man United’s top goal is to sign a centre back.
A new defender is required at Old Trafford after players like Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof underperformed as the Reds surrendered goals for fun the previous campaign.

Although Jonny Evans is sticking with the team, his age and performance make him unreliable for Man United.

Lisandro Martinez, who has recently struggled with fitness, needs a solid defensive partner, especially in light of Yoro’s injuries.
